Cookie Composition and Value Analysis

The video tutorial guides students through a lab to determine the percent composition of sandwich cookies, focusing on the cream and wafer parts. Using Oreos, Whole Foods, and Target brand cookies, the instructor demonstrates how to weigh and calculate the composition. Students are encouraged to use their own methods or follow the instructor's. The video also includes a cost analysis of the cookies, prompting students to consider which offers the best value based on their composition and price per ounce.

What is the main objective of the cookie percent composition lab?

• To compare the taste of different cookie brands

• To determine the percent composition of cream and wafer in cookies

• To find the nutritional value of cookies

• To bake cookies with different ingredients

Which brands of cookies are being analyzed in the lab?

• Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and Keebler
