    Chocolate Chip Parmesan Cookies: A Savory Twist! 🍫🧀

    Get ready for an episode that's going to challenge your taste buds in the best way possible! This week on Cookie Lab, we're making and tasting something truly unique: Chocolate Chip Parmesan Cookies! We're adding a savory, nutty twist to the classic cookie you know and love.

    But this isn't just about a new recipe. We're also exploring the rich history of Parmesan cheese and delving into the quirky science of butyric acid.

    Plus, don't forget: Cookie Lab is also available on YouTube! Head over to our channel to watch all the savory and sweet baking action unfold.
