Third Time's the Charm! The Ultimate GF Sugar Cookie 🍪✨

Is it possible? Have we finally found the "Holy Grail" of gluten-free baking? This week on Cookie Lab, we are tackling our third attempt at the classic Gluten-Free Sugar Cookie, and the results are... well, you'll have to hear the crunch for yourself!

The game-changer this time? We swapped our old flour blends for our new favorite: Mightylicious Flour. Join us as we rave about the texture, the taste, and why this flour finally ended our streak of gritty disappointments. Spoiler alert: We might be in love.

But we aren't just eating cookies; we're learning about them!

• The Sweet History: Trace the journey of the sugar cookie from its 17th-century roots in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, to the holiday staple it is today.
• The Science of Snap: We break down the chemistry of a sugar cookie—specifically how the ratio of sugar to moisture creates that signature "snap" versus a soft "pillowy" bite.

If you’ve been struggling with gluten-free baking, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for!

Bakewell Bonanza! From Mistake to Masterpiece! 🍒🥧

Grab your tea and settle in! This week on Cookie Lab, we're taking a deliciously sweet trip to England to tackle the classic Bakewell Tart (or Bakewell, as it's affectionately known).

The story of this iconic dessert is almost as sweet as the treat itself: we'll share the hilarious history that began as a simple culinary mistake at an English Inn—a mistake that thankfully resulted in one of the UK's most beloved bakes! We bring this historical treat into the Cookie Laboratory for our signature bake and taste test.

And for the science! We dive deep into the role of eggs in emulsion, the critical chemical process that gives the Bakewell's gorgeous frangipane filling that perfect, rich, and stable texture. Learn how this delicate balance of fats and liquids makes the difference between a good bake and a truly delicious one!

Tune in for the history, the taste, and the science of this accidental English masterpiece!

Chocolate Tiffin: The British No-Bake Delight! 🇬🇧🍫

This week on Cookie Lab, we're taking another delicious trip across the pond to make the legendary British tray bake treat: the Chocolate Tiffin! This no-bake wonder is packed with chocolate, biscuit pieces, and delicious mix-ins, making it the perfect quick fix for any sweet craving.

Join us as we discuss the charming history of the Tiffin, how it became a teatime staple, and what makes it different from other tray bakes. Of course, we perform the essential taste test to see if this dense, rich, and ridiculously easy dessert lives up to its hype.

We also dive into the fascinating science of dried cherries! We explore the process of dehydration, what happens to the fruit's sugars and acids, and why they maintain that perfect chewiness and burst of flavor when incorporated into a rich chocolate base.

Grab a cuppa and tune in for all the history, taste, and science behind this delightful English treat!
