My Food Bag (10Hec)

Blurb about the design process:

--->  Who was your profile target?
My profile target was my dad.
 I was aiming for someone like my dad who stands on his feet all day at work.

---> My recipe decision was for men in their, I think 20s, 30s, and 40s.

My Recipe:
  • Cinnamon
  • ^
  • Cornmeal Chocolate Fennel Seed Cookies
  •    Recipe

  • 90c
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • cinnamon
  • ^
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, toasted and finely ground
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup fine grind yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter with sugar. Mix in the egg. Add the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and fennel seeds on medium speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  2. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes, rotating once halfway through. The edges should be golden.

Beware that this is an American Recipe!!!



This recipe was chosen because I thought it could give someone enough energy to stand on their feet all day, But it turned out a little bit too salty because we mucked up the recipe and put far too much salt in, And instead of the fennel seeds Harley & I used cinnamon.


How does it fit into the dinner plate model?

Well, actually I don't think it does because of the too much salt I added, Otherwise it would have had a lot of energy in it to keep you going.

What changes did you make during the two practice practical lessons?

Well, As It shows above I swapped the fennel seeds with cinnamon instead.

Why did you make these changes?

Because I've never tried fennel seeds before.

What were the positives about your final practical?

Well, The cookies tasted nice except for the salt in them.

Describe two things you have learned this semester.

1. I learned how to bake cookies.
2. I learned to be patient while cooking.
