How high should you heat your oven

375

3/4 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

At 310 degrees the Mallard Reaction takes place when sugar combines with amino acids and form a new chemical compound that produces tastes, smells, and textures.

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Does the same as white sugar, but also has more flavor and gives the cookie a golden brown color.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Enhances the flavors in the recipe

What does flour do

Gives structure and allows gluten to form

2 large eggs

Protein molecules from your eggs begin to uncoil and connect to form a solid structure.

3/4 cup granulated sugar

The sugars break down and give the cookie its flavor.

1 cup butter, softened

When it melts it causes the cookie to spread out.
