My+Own+Recipe

**What I have learned...** When I started on my project, I was a cooking klutz with no knowledge on making anything except for soup from a can. Doing this project, I began baking from recipes, and learned enough about them to create my own. Using the knowledge I have gained from researching my topic, interviewing my expert, and experimenting, I have came up with my final product.

**Sophie's Chocolate Chip Cookies**

**Ingredients-**

1 cup trans fat-free margerine 1 cup white sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 3 cups flour (minus 1/4 for chewier result*) 1/2 tsp baking powder* 1/2 tsp baking soda* 2 tsp warm water 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 tsp vanilla extract



**Directions-**

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Soften butter (15 sec. at most), then cream in a bowl with white and brown sugar

3. Beat eggs in one at a time and stir in vanilla



4. Stir baking soda & baking powder in the warm water in separate bowl until dissolved, then add to batter

5. Mix in flour and chocolate chips



6. Drop on to an ungreased pan



7. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges are browned

**Evaluation**

I, honestly, thought these were the best out of the four different cookies I tried. It tasted better than all of them, and was healthier! I used trans-fat free margerine instead of regular butter. I even gave some to a couple of my friends, and they could not believe I made them! Though I made quite a mess making them, the taste was worth it.
