Come and explore hands-on baking, ingredient sorting, and fun food science experiments to uncover the sweet science of cookies from dough to dessert. Ages 8-12 recommended.

A hands-on cookie science program exploring ingredients, leavening, and chemical reactions through experiments, games, and baking. Patrons will learn the different elements of baking: fat, protein, or carbohydrate AND solid, liquid, or gas. They will also learn about how changing cookie ingredients leads to a different taste/texture in the final cookie. Check out the work that Purdue Extension does and get involved with this link. 

**This program involves ingredients that could contain common allergens. While we strive to provide ingredient information when available, the library cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment or prevent cross-contamination.

Participants with food allergies or dietary restrictions are encouraged to review ingredients carefully and take any necessary precautions. Caregivers should assist children in making safe choices. If you have specific concerns, please contact us in advance so we can share as much information as possible.
