Chocolate Chip Cookies
How healthy are chocolate chip cookies? I started out researching on how to bake cookies, however, while I was researching I decided to change my topic on how baking gluten free cookies are healthier compared to normal cookies. This past winter my sister was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, causing her to become gluten free. My mom has been making gluten free chocolate chip cookies for her so she can still enjoy cookies.
First, I went to Google still thinking about how to bake cookies and found multiple different recipes with pictures. I choose one that looked the best and wrote down the ingredients and the directions. This recipe called for 2 cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¾ cup butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, …show more content…
½ cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 cups chocolate chips. The ingredients were mixed together, formed into balls, placed on a cookie sheet, and in the oven for 15 to 17 minutes at 325 degrees.
I continued my search on Yahoo where I found a healthy cookie recipe, similar ingredients and time length. However, when I went to Bing I found gluten free recipe and decided that I should change my research to the difference between regular chocolate chip cookies to gluten free chocolate chips cookies. I continued to research on the Grossmont Databases, first looking at Consumer Health Complete, finding out that sugar beet molasses is an ingredient that is able to enhance the nutrition in gluten-free cookies. Additionally I looked at Science Direct, searching Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. An article about consumer acceptance of these gluten-free cookies surfaced, comparing the reactions of consumers between gluten-free and regular cookies. Again, I went back to the database and found 3 other articles about, gluten-free cookies, obesity from cookies, and cookies helping in math. I wrote notes on all these articles to help with my research on the differences and comparing the health facts between normal and gluten-free cookies. After much research on the computer, I decided to look through my moms cook books and cooking magazines to find more
research. I found a Nestle Toll House Recipe Book and saw their recipe for chocolate chips cookies included the same ingredients as the recipes I found online. Whereas, this book shows how to bake the cookies, it does not show the nutritional value of the cookies. I continued to look at my mom cookbooks and found a weight watchers book, that did not have chocolate chip cookies, but oatmeal-raisin cookies, which are healthier for you. This book was able to give me the ingredients, the nutritional facts, and how to eat them in a week’s time. After all this researching I was able to find information on the Internet and on the database about my research topic.
