Brandysnaps: Traditional French Tuile Cookie

The main goal of the Cookies unit was to solve the Unit Problem. The unit problem introduced us to the Woos, the owners of a cookie bakery. The Woos want to find the most profitable combination of plain and iced cookies to bake and sell in their store. We were given several constraints for this problem. According to the Woo’s recipes, a dozen normal cookies requires one pound of cookie dough, and a dozen iced cookies requires .7 pounds of cookie dough. The Woo family only has 110 pounds of cookie dough in stock, which will affect the number of cookies that can be made. The iced cookies also need icing, obviously. A dozen of iced cookies required .4 pounds of icing and the Woos only have 32 pounds of icing in stock.

In the case of more than 3 dozens of cookies we have to consider the fact that the mixing bowl can only hold for up to three dozens of cookies. Thus, we have 12+4*(2+1+2)+1=33 min of valuable time with costs of ((33/60)*L)/4=0,1375. So the maximum is reached when we produce up to 3 dozens, but we should give discounts on 3+ orders, too.

Assuming that we add another oven, the cycle time of the ovens would be 5 minutes. The new bottleneck for the entire process would now be that of mixing the ingredients and dishing the cookies onto the tray, a process which takes 8 minutes for 1 batch of cookies.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour 1/8-inch hot water in a baking dish large enough to hold

To begin, you will need to make the cookie dough. In order to make the cookie dough you will need:

The purpose of our experiment was to the percent compositions of two different types of store bought sandwich cookies and a sandwich cookie recipe. We will do this by determining the masses of the crème parts, the masses of the cookie parts, and the masses of the whole sandwich cookies, and using each respectively to calculate percent compositions of all three types of sandwich cookie. We will then compare the percent composition of each cookie to the other cookies and to our hypothesized percent compositions to see how similarly the brands and recipe make their cookies and if our hypothesis was correct. Based on the percent compositions we calculate, we can discuss why manufacturers would make their cookies with those ratios of ingredients, taking into account the cost of each ingredient, which may cause manufacturers to put less of an expensive ingredient in the cookie and more amounts of cheaper ingredients.

A long-time friend insists that Natalie has to somehow include cookies in her business plan. After a series of brainstorming sessions, Natalie settles on the idea of operating a cookie-making school. She will start on a part-time basis and offer her services in

One Pizookie feeds more or less four people but I can definitely finish one all by myself if I tried! You can also serve this dough as traditional cookies, but either way, they're chewy, buttery, and sweet!

There are many different ways you can change up the recipe so that your cookies turn out exactly the way you prefer. If you want your cookies flat and chewy, you can

2) The oven holds only one tray (one dozen of cookies) => at full utilization we can cook only 6 dozen of cookies per hour, for example after washing and mixing we have two more minutes to wait before oven will free.

You should start by reading your recipe carefully and understand it. Make sure you have all the ingredients needed to bake the cookie. The most important thing in baking is care and accuracy is a must for the cookie to be perfect. Your cooking tools should be good and use standard measuring spoons and cups. The pan should be the correct size, and then prepare it as instructed in the recipe. Your ingredients should be top quality, fresh and set according to the recipe. If the recipe states that an ingredient should be at room temperature, make sure it is that way. Baking powder can be tested for potency by adding it to hot water; it should bubble if it is good. Mix baking powder to the flour before adding the other wet ingredients to ensure even distribution of the powder. All ingredients should be at room temperature for perfect cookies unless the recipe states otherwise. Measure your ingredients carefully by use of measuring cups or spoons. The oven should be preheated for about 10 or 15mins before starting to bake the cookies. The temperature of the oven should be exactly as stated in the recipe because too hot or too cold oven will disrupt the cooking time and damage the texture and appearance of your

They will become much better at making one type of cookie rather than many; total flow time will

The baking trays are required for three activities, namely, filling it and keeping it ready for baking, baking it in the oven, and cooling it after baking is done. Since the baking and cooling processes will be going on for at most one tray at a given time and the mixing process gets material ready for at most three trays of one dozen each, five trays would be sufficient, though, even three trays would serve the purpose if mixing and filling activities are done properly. Hence, it is advisable for Kristen 's Cookie Company to go for at least three baking trays to maximize its productivity.

The whole process throughput time of making a dozen of cookies is 26 minutes. It takes washing, mixing and spooning 8 minutes to make a dozen of cookies. And preparation and bake time totally are 10 minutes. The final step of cooling, packing and accepting payment of cookies takes roommate 8 minutes to finish the cycle. Assume the night capacity is 4 hours, so Kristen and roommate have 240 minutes operating time. Since the oven only holds one tray, the second dozen takes an additional 10 minutes to bake. For example, first dozen of cookies take 26 minutes to make, second dozen of cookies take 36 minutes to make and third dozen of cookies take 46 minutes to make. So we can
