Brownies are the best bar cookie!

The students learned about the six basic types of cookies this week. They discovered that the main difference in cookies is in the way they are shaped or the type of dough used in the recipe.

Our lab this week involved making brownies from scratch! The eighth grade students made the brownies and baked them one day and ate them the next day. It was quite interesting to see how different each batch of brownies turned out. Be sure to ask your child if their brownies were chewy, gooey, or crunchy. It is all in the measuring!

Each student made a Halloween-themed stencil and used it to sprinkle powdered sugar on their brownie. What fun!

Have a nice weekend.

Sincerely,

Mrs. J. Bretl
