Mastering Molded Cookies

Lab Objective:

You will understand how to make cookie dough and shape it by hand.

Lab Goal:

You will make hand shaped cookies that are filled, sealed, and properly shaped.

Expectations:

While you are making your dough you will reflect on what you need to do to shape the cookies with the filling baked on the inside.
When your cookie is finished you will take a picture of the finished product with you in the picture.
After tasting cookie you will complete the Lab Reflection and upload your product picture to the Google Form.

Getting the Cookie Filled AND Sealed

Next, pick up one ball of dough and shape it into a cup shape in the palm of your hand.

Bring all of the edges up around the filling and prepare to enclose the filling completely inside.

Your cookie is ready for the oven!

First divide your dough into 12 equal pieces. Then roll each into a ball.

Add filling to the cup. Don't overfill or you won't be able to close the cookies properly.

Pinch the edges together being careful to keep all of the filling on the inside of the dough ball. Make sure that all of the edges are pinched securely so there are no leaks!

Bonus Question - Why Is Red Velvet Red?

Red Velvet products weren't always made with the tons of food coloring that we use nowadays. Originally there was another reason they were red. Can you find the answer?
