Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is a family favorite and my family makes them every Christmas. CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: The ingredients that are pure substances are baking soda (NaHCO3), salt (NaCl), sugar (C12H22O11). The ingredients that are homogeneous mixtures are brown sugar, all-purpose flour, peanut butter, milk, vanilla extract, hershey kisses, shortening. The heterogeneous mixtures are, the egg, the batter before it is mixed, and the cookies when they are done. The physical changes are when you roll the dough into balls, and when you pour the milk from the carton to the tablespoon. The chemical reactions are indicated when the cookies come out of the oven and are larger than when they were going in, and the bottoms of the cookies changing color.
