Baking Experiment: Chocolate Chip Cookies

After a decade, yes a whole decade, we finally bought an OTG to replace our oven! This afternoon Fizzy, Happoo, Zunie, and I did our first baking experiment using to test our OTG. The prep and most of the mixing work was done by me & Fizzy while Happoo & Zunie helped place the small batches of cookie dough in the oven and watched the cookies bake. Loved the fragrance of freshly baked cookies especially the scent of vanilla! The baking trays (from our previous cooking range) were too large so we had to experiment with aluminum & parchment paper. Good news: The cookies passed the User Tasting! 🙂

Lesson learned: (1) In warm weather, it’s better to keep the cookie dough/balls in fridge for sometime so that it firms up. The batch that was refrigerated came out better. (2) Baking trays and cooling racks are very useful so buy them. (3) Oven thermometer was very useful. (4) Sugar quantity may be reduced OR replace chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chip if you don’t want cookies that are too sweet. (5) Don’t forget to taste the batter & have fun! 🙂
