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:
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Two Bowls (one medium, one small)
  • Softened Butter
  • White Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg (we'll only be using the yolk)
  • Egg Yolk Separator
  • Vanilla
  • Baking Soda
  • Flour
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Cookie Scoop

NOTE:
​Please let Mr. Locke know if you have a dairy-free or gluten-free diet, or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed above.

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. Remember to take a quick video of each major step as you go.

  • Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.​
    ​
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the following: 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 tbs white sugar, 2 tbs 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.

  • Place the egg yolk separator over the small bowl and then crack an egg ​into the separator. Put the shell in the compost bin. Then add just the yolk of the egg to your mixture. You can 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.
Check in with Mr. Locke so he can either approve your cookie dough or tell you to keep mixing it.
  • ​Use a cookie scoop to form 6 balls of dough. Place them evenly spaced on the cookie sheet. Roll each one into a ball with your hands. Then 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 14 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 3-5 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.

  • If the bell rings, it doesn't matter; do NOT leave the Tech Room until you're finished cleaning up.
