This week in Culinary Arts Club the kids made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. As Culinary Arts Advisor I like to keep with the theme of the season, so we chose to make a cookie that included pumpkin puree. The kids loved these cookies, they were soft, moist, and very tasty!! We took a recipe that was baked using a convection oven so some play needed to be made with both the conventional oven temperature and baking time. We found that the cookies did take a while to bake through, about 20 minutes, which told us that perhaps next time we should turn the temperature from 375 degrees to 400 degrees. One group realized the importance of figuring out which person will put what ingredients in the bowl before starting, when they ended up with not enough flour and a huge mess coming out of the oven. Baking is indeed chemistry!!! That is a mistake they won't be repeating I am sure. All in all it was a successful meeting and the kids had fun!!
