Earlier this month, the SGA held a bake sale to raise funds for OSCARS OSC’s prom. I volunteered to bake chocolate chip cookies for the bake sale. Since the bake sale was open to all secondary school students, many snacks would be needed. Because of this, I decided to do quadruple portions of a recipe I regularly use. 

The ingredients were:

4 cups of salted butter

4 cups of white sugar

4 spuds of brown sugar

8 tsp of pure vanilla extract

8 large eggs

12 cups of flour

4 tsp of baking soda

2 tsp of baking powder

4 tsp of salt

8 cups of chocolate chips. 

 

The batter was too large to be mixed into any bowls, so 2 large cooking pots were used when mixing. The process took around 1.5 hours, as baking could only be done in 8 minutes increments on 2 oven trays. My mother and sister helped me throughout the process, especially with the preparation of the baking sheets. All of the cookies were brought to the bake sale, and all of them were sold in under 20 minutes. There were around 40+ cookies. After selling the cookies, I heard many compliments about the cookies, such as how soft and delicious they were.
