Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whenever you see this stop sign, you need to find Mr. Locke and check in with him before continuing.

What You'll Need:

What You'll Do:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make sure that all group members wash their hands. Use dish detergent as soap.
Get a blank camera from the green basket by Mr. Locke's desk.
Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Check in with Mr. Locke and tell him you're ready to start mixing ingredients.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the following: 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 tbsp white sugar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Stir with a mixing paddle until creamy. This may take a while, but you will eventually get there.
Crack an egg into a smaller bowl. Put the shell in the compost bin. Then add just the yolk of the egg to your mixture and pour the egg white down the sink.

Stir with the mixing paddle until smooth.
Mix in the following: 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup flour. Dough will form. Keep stirring with the mixing paddle and keep scraping the sides of the bowl so that everything is included in the mix.
Stir in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to form 6 balls of dough. Place them evenly spaced on the cookie sheet. Push each one down a bit with the back of a spoon.

Check in with Mr. Locke and tell him you're ready to put your cookies in the oven.

Bake for 12 minutes (place it on the top rack). Use oven mitts for this. [While waiting for it to bake, clean up whatever you can.]

Check in with Mr. Locke and tell him when it's time to take the cookies out of the oven.

Using oven mitts, remove from oven and place on stovetop. Turn off oven. Let sit for 5 minutes before eating. [Again, you can clean up as you wait.]
Make sure you finish cleaning up and make sure you return your camera to the pink basket by Mr. Locke's desk.
