Ingredients:
Dough:
For my final home study I decided to make cake batter cookies. I decided I wanted to make confetti cookies because I love sprinkles and thought it would be fun to try them out. Before making the cookies I got out all the ingredients and set up my kitchen aid mixer. Once the mixer was set up, I added the cake mix, 2 eggs, and the oil. When making these cookies it is important to make sure you are not following the directions on the box of cake mix because you want to form a dough not a batter. After mixing the dough completely I turned off the mixer, removed the bowl, and added 3 tbsp of rainbow sprinkles and mixed the sprinkles in by hand with a wooden spoon. These cookies are fun to make because you can add whatever you want to the dough and how much of it you put in it is your choice too. After mixing in the sprinkles I took my 1 tbsp cookie scoop and scooped the cookies onto the cookie sheet and floured the glass. Taking the floured glass I slightly pressed the cookies down then placed three M&Ms in each cookie and placed them in the oven for 8 minutes. For these cookies since this is a cake mix you have to press the dough balls down into the cookie shape because they will not do this in the oven.
Tasting the Cookies
After the cookies had cooled it was time to evaluate them. The appearance of the cookies: the cookies had lots of color from the candy and sprinkles but the cookies them self did not get a lot of brown color to it like a normal cookie dough would and it had lots of cracks throughout the top of the cookies. Then there was the aroma: the smell of the cookies was very sweet and cake like with a little bit of chocolate scent from the M&Ms. Next was the texture of the cookies: the texture of the cookies were very soft with lots of cracks and soft parts, but firm around the edges (the perfect cookie texture). Last but not least the taste of the cookies: the cookies tasted very sweet, chocolaty, with a little bit of a bitter flavor. Overall I think these cookies turned out great and I would definitely like to make these cookies again and other variations of these cookies.
