Some crunchy parts but most of it was soft and creamy.
When we put in the batch with 1 ¼ of flour the batter was very crunchy and sticky. When we cooked the cookies they spread out and turned thin and cooked a lot faster than normal. For the next sheet of cookies we lowered the time to 6 minutes instead of 9 minutes. The cookies were about the same size when they started but when they came out of the oven it was about a inch wider. 
When we put in the batch with 3 ¼ cups of flour the batter was super soft and very gooey around the chocolate chips. They were hard to put together and some of them fell apart. Hard to mix the batter and it took longer to get a little bit stickier. Still, some of the mix was not mixed together enough even with a lot of stirring.

The results could have been affected by how I changed the spoon that I was scooping the batter with because the other spoon I was using was to sticky. In the future I will use the same spoon full way through so that I don't have the risk of messing up the experiment. It would be interesting to see if different types of flour changes the cookies as well as different amounts.]]> 2018-06-11 14:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266624921 Purpose ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266624922 The purpose of this project was I wanted to see why the recipes wanted only a certain amount of flour in the cookie batter]]> 2018-06-11 14:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266624922 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698104 2018-06-11 21:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698104 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698171 2018-06-11 21:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698171 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698250 2018-06-11 21:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698250 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698310 2018-06-11 21:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698310 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698358 2018-06-11 21:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698358 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698406 2018-06-11 21:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698406 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698475 2018-06-11 21:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698475 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698551 2018-06-11 21:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698551 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698603 2018-06-11 21:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698603 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698646 2018-06-11 21:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698646 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698699 2018-06-11 21:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698699 ib73085 https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698750 2018-06-11 21:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ib73085/1oxrih4qfbc5/wish/266698750
