As Ross Perot used to ...What perfect timing Karina! As Ross Perot used to say, "I've got charts!" This is very relevant to our recent science experiment -- we made 9 recipes over a few weeks and found out all about cookies. I just asked Adam, because this was his experiment and he said, "she used too much baking soda or not enough eggs" -- So, perhaps you're measuring out too much baking soda...cut back even if you're not and see (less baking soda won't affect taste much). Another thing they learned was that the molasses in the brown sugar is an acid and reacts with the baking soda helping those cookies to rise. If you are not packing down your brown sugar enough you won't be using as much as you need to and perhaps they won't rise as much. <BR/><BR/>And that's the science lesson of the day :)<BR/><BR/>Science Experiment: Baking Soda and Eggs -- It Does a Cookie Good!<BR/>http://kit365photojournalproject.blogspot.com/2007/03/and-winner-is.htmlMore Than Conquerors...(Romans 8:28)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02233860662650401574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655114.post-28522737217002334642007-03-23T18:20:00.000-07:002007-03-23T18:20:00.000-07:00thank you, April.
