Quarter 1 Conclusion

 What was your favorite cookie? The family liked the Easy peanut butter cup cookies and the Key Lime cookies the best

What was your least favorite cookie? Coconut macaroons and Sweet potato cookies were not the favorite of the family

What did we learn from this experience:

Elyk: Any cookie can be good

ZombieFace: Sweet potato is a flavor you either like or don't like.  Outliers can have an affect on the score of the cookie.  I pick the best cookies.  People have different tastes for cookies

Cool Man: Mom does not like lemon sugar cookies and she ruined my chance to have the favorite cookie

Dad: There are more cookies than just chocolate chip that are good.  Don't double the recipe because it says it only make 12 servings.

Mom: You should always look at the ingredients before deciding to make it.

Difficulty level and why: Not bad.  The corn flake measurement is before it being crushed not after.

What the family thought: It has an interesting texture and is crunchy and soft at the same time.  It has a toffee flavor to them.  

What the consultant thought: no one signed up.  Their loss!

Overall score: 4.3

Quarter 2 Predictions

 Which cookie is going to have the best ranking this quarter

Dad: Sparkly chocolate fudge cookies will be the favorite (Mom and ZombieFace cannot vote) because fudge is good and the sparkles will be the pixy dust that make it that much better

Mom: Honey vanilla linser cookie will be the best because they are sugar cookies and these are the only sugar cookie this quarter.  Everyone loves sugar cookies

Elyk: From scratch brownie cookies will be the best cookie because it will have quite a bit of chocolate and just seems good.

ZombieFace: I think lemon cake cookies will be the favorite because I liked the the lemon sandwich cookies last quarter

Cool Man:  I think Lemon cake mix and ooey goooey lemon cookies are going to be the top cookie this year because they are lemon cookies.  I love lemons and I think they will be like gushers.  (he picked two because he is the youngest and gets away with everything)

Which cookie will have the worst ranking

Dad: Triple Ginger cream sandwiches have THREE types of ginger in them.  I looked at what evil spirits ginger wards away and there are none.  It has no super natural power otherwise our house would be safe for a while.

Mom: Peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies will be the worst because no one in the house likes bananas except me.

Elyk: Lemon Cake cookies are not going to be popular because they seem to be too sour to even be good

ZombieFace: Almond Joy Cookie with shredded coconut will be the least favorite because I don't like almond joys

Cool Man: I think the butterscotch potato chip balls will be the least favorite because I don't know what type of potato chips are being used.  I think we should use the sour cream and onion potato chips.
