Week 7 - Lab - Pocky, Sugar, TuillesI

Lisa and I met up in the library before lab and set up a bit of a game plan. We figured we would get of the ingredients together for each recipe before we began. We started out with the pocky. Lisa pretty much handled the assembly of these and they turned out exactly as they should have. We then got started on the tuille cookies, which were pretty hard to manipulate. I tried to get some nice little "cigarrette" rolls going, but it was pretty hard to do, since the cookie hardens up very fast and it difficult to work with. And it was very hot and I burnt a few fingers in the process. Then we finished with our sugar cookies. We made the dough earlier and by the time we started rolling it out, it was nice and firm. I made mine into little hearts and pumpkins. I decorated the hearts using a glaze made from powdered sugar and egg whites. I made it pink! What we also did in lab this night was test out every groups cookies and discuss them. It was great to see what other people's take is on the same cookie. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics of the cookies. And I even remembered my camera this time!
