Dozens upon dozens of cookies were baked over the holidays, but have you ever considered the science, or the chemistry, of the cookies you baked? Probably not. We be focused on the baking…not the science!
How about a post-Christmas baking marathon TED-Ed video? Someone get the lights…
The Chemistry of Cookies
Whoa. That was a smackdown of useful information that you can school the kids/grandkids with (you can also let them know that, yes, they may now end a sentence with a preposition).
If you’re anything like me, you like to know the whys behind what you’re doing. Some of us never outgrow that 3-year-old stage of unending questions, right? RIGHT?!
Or a delicious home-baked cookie.
SCIENCE!
Gotta love those TED talks and videos! That was very cool and I’m kinda wishing I had one of those cookies pictures right now. 😉
The age we live in is a wonder! Ditto on the cookie wanting.
Thanks for stopping by Wonderful Wednesday blog hop.

I’d like one of those cookies in your picture!! Clicking over and I hope I am going to find a recipe!
Oooo, I hope you found it. Wait. Didn’t you tell me you don’t cook?!
I always said the cookies were done when you could smell them, many, many people have coerced me into using the timer, thank you science!!! (And Mrs. Tucker too!)
SCIENCE! Some things we just know in our guts to be true, we just can’t explain why (until we see a TED video!).
Science is awesome! I’m going to send this to my sister-in-law who is a kindergarten teacher committed to showing her students the joys of science in every day life. She will love this!
Love it! I not only love science, but love when it’s presented in a very approachable way.
I loved the video. Thanks for sharing that I would never have seen it otherwise. I love learning the chemistry behind cooking and baking. I’m just a science geek at heart 🙂 I found you on freedom fridays.
I love the science behind making cookies too!
I will be baking my cookies at 356° from now on.
Right?! Who knew?!
Thanks so much for sharing at Wednesday’s Adorned From Above Link Party.
