The Cookiethon

In all my eleven years that I've been going to OKAA, not one assignment have I ever been given that exceeded this one in how much I enjoyed it. I got to taste cookies. Lots of cookies. I get a grade for tasting cookies. If that isn't paradise, it comes pretty close.

RECIPE #1: Brown Sugar
  This one actually was hardly any different than the original, unchanged recipe aside from the colour. It was maybe a bit more buttery, though that could be an effect of an inconsistency of the amounts of the other ingredients. It was about the same amount of work to make and roll out.

RECIPE #2: 1/2 Applesauce, 1/2 Egg
  This was by far the best recipe in my opinion. In both dough and cookie form it had a delightful apple-y flavour, and we managed to not burn them all. It was a bit stickier than the original recipe, as well, and strangely enough tasted more of applesauce than the cookie that were made with all applesauce and no eggs!

RECIPE #3: Soft Margarine
  Margarine is evil. These cookies, though still tasting okay, were the least desirable of any of the recipes. They were extremely oily and crumbly as dough, so much so that it was impossible to use cookiecutters on them, and retained some of the plastic flavour of margarine when they were baked.

RECIPE #4: Whole Wheat Flour
  This one I didn't aid in the making, so any of the pre-baking process is a mystery to me. I do know they were delicious and had a delightful nutty flavour, not quite what one would expect. They were a bit darker and less homogenous-looking than the other cookies.

RECIPE #5: 1/2 Splenda, Half Sugar
  These ones were not that great. Apparently in dough form they were extremely sticky and therefore hard to roll out. They tasted okay, but they didn't compare to the other cookies.

RECIPE #6: Applesauce
  This one, surprisingly, did not particularly taste of applesauce. It tasted more or less the same as the unchanged recipe. According to it's bakers the dough was extremely sticky and had to be combined with extra flour in order to roll it out.
