Reflective food

1. When I first began to write this paper I needed to know different kinds of chocolate chip cookies, their taste, size, and texture. I thought it was gonna be very delicious but it turned out being disgusting because the cookies didn't taste good. I struggled with using descriptive words that help the reader know how what the cookies were like. the easiest part was the taste testing because it was the least stressful. and the hardest part was the descriptions I talked about earlier.
2. When I read my draft I really liked the format of the paper, the descriptions and the variety of vocab. I think that I need to elaborate more about each cookie.
3. My partner said I need to fix the into which I have done they also said to use more adjectives when talking about the texture. They also said it was vague which I have worked on.
4. I plan on fixing the introduction to make it more relevant to the paper. I'm also going to fix the descriptions to make it so that the reader can relate more to how I feel about the cookies.    

The original: good gone bad

The word “cookie” is derived from the Dutch word 'koekje', which meant "small or little cake." The word “biscuit” (which is what a cookie is called in some countries) comes from the Latin phrase “bis coctum”, which means, "twice baked." The chocolate chip cookie was invented in 1930 by Ruth Wakefield in Whitman, Massachusetts while she was baking for guests at her bed a breakfast. She ran out of baking chocolate so she decided to use some chocolate that a friend of hers, Andrew Nestle gave to her. She made a deal with Nestle so that she would get free chocolate and she would let Nestle put her recipe on their boxes of chocolate. After that there are many different companies that make chocolate. Our class did a taste test of different foods and we took notes on the taste, texture, and what it looked like my evaluations are as fallows.

Pepperidge farm, Montauk chocolate chip cookies, probably one of the most vial things I have ever eaten in my entire life. The packaging made the cookie look very moist with good texture and very chocolaty, almost homemade. Unfortunately this is far from the case; these “homemade” cookies tasted some what sour. They had two different types of chocolate one seemed to taste like normal chocolate and the other kind was the type that tasted sour.

Archway, chocolate chip cookie, a red rectangular box with a big cookie on the front and said “Just like homemade”, they looked soft and moist with a rigid texture on the top. These cookies, once again did not taste homemade, they were moist but just didn’t have the “chocolate” flavor that chocolate chip cookie are suppose to have.

Wegmans, “Famous” chocolate chip cookies are usually very well made, chocolaty and taste as if they are fresh out of the oven. These on the other hand, didn’t taste like normal Wegmans chocolate chip cookies, they were moist but bland similar to the Archway cookies.  They also smelled like raisins, which would be fine if they were “raisin cookies” but since they didn’t smell like chocolate chip cookie then they wouldn’t taste like them either.

            Chips Ahoy! Famous for the talking cookies in television commercials, and of course their cookies. Their “Original” cookies are crispy, not stale but they aren’t “fall apart” in your mouth. These are probably the best cookies that are talked about in this paper. They had the most flavor, not as moist as I would have liked but tolerable. They were also the most enjoyed by almost everyone in our group.

            Murray Sugar Free chocolate chip cookies, these were the only sugar free cookies we had, and they tasted like it. These cookies were tasteless, if you put chocolate chips on bread and put it in an oven it would probably taste better. I was hesitant trying them just based on the picture on the box and also because sweet and sugar free shouldn’t be mixed up!

            Keebler, know for their little elves that live in trees they make a large variety of treats, most of the time they are very delicious, their original cookies…..not so much. They were dry and crumbly, and lacked the chocolate necessary for good chocolate chip cookies.

            Overall most of these cookies very awful, for different reasons, lack of flavor, bland, to crunchy etc. The Chips Ahoy was definitely the best ones because they had the best overall taste, presentation and texture.
