Sorry the t-shirts in this video are no longer available :(
In this video, we attempt to make the world's purest cookie and to see how it compares to a regular cookie. In my opinion, it has to be better, because it's pure.

    I forgot to mention it in the video, but we did not pull a vacuum in the oven! It is just vacuum sealed and some air gets pushed out when it's closed. I think pulling a vacuum would have murdered the cookie.

    This is really quite remarkable: My Mother is a Baker, My Father is a Research Chemist, Both were impressed by how bad this experiment was done. My mother because of the lack of a defined baking procedure for the cookie, the fact that you didnt watch a single video of how to shape a cookie on a pan, and the fact you made 1 single huge cookie instead of spreading the cookie dough to multiple cookies. My father from you lack of accuracy and how you handled the ingredients. You threw them around, dumped them, and "shot from the hip" when measuing for Vanilla extract and more things i dont understand. But i was just happy i got to see the shook and rattled look on their faces.

    I'm surprised that your dad, the ''research chemist'' didn't also tell you that none of the ingredients were actually pure, and the only thing this video shows you is ''Young guy makes cookie for first time." Those ingredients are simply control samples used to test lab equipment. They have not be certified ''pure," and the idea of this being the world's purest cookie is just 100% wrong.

Cooking is an art, and it's the balance of different flavors and textures that makes a dish truly enjoyable. The cookie I made might not have turned out as I had imagined. But through this journey, I've learned something invaluable: that the essence of cooking lies not just in the ingredients we use but in the love, creativity, and balance we put into it. I promise you that my next cookie will be baked with all of this in mind. I may have stumbled on this attempt, but I'm excited to try again and make a cookie that's truly special, not just in its ingredients, but in its essence."

    Disclaimer: I have no predisposed knowledge in this, I'm not a chemistry major, but out of curiosity I did some research and I'm going to try to diagnose what went wrong based on both a chemistry / baking POV. References available at the end. This is besides the primary point of it probably being bad because the ingredients he used were for research and documenting if anything, and not for actual baking. Some of the ingredients may have been in there for years *Issue 1 with vanillin:* I believe you diluted the vanillin far too much, and added far too little. *[1], [2], [3]* Vanillin itself has some solubility issues, "Solubility of vanillin in ethanol (375.81 mg/mL), methanol (632.94 mg/mL), and water (30 mg/mL)." *[2]* I'm not sure what % ethanol you used, but optimally you should have used 95% ethanol to first dissolve the vanillin, and then added water to then dilute the vanillin-ethanol solution. The final solution should be something like: 35% ethanol, 60% water, and 5% vanillin (depending on how much vanillin you're adding) This isn't very relevant in your experiment, as the amount of ethanol you used (200ml) was waaaaay too much. Using the ethanol dilution ratio above (375.81 mg/mL) *[2]*, you only needed 3.46ml of ethanol to dilute 1.3g of vanillin [1.3g = 1300mg vanillin] [1300mg vanillin / 375mg/ml ethanol = 3.46ml] *issue 2 with the vanillin mixture* (just expanding on this since you pointed out the lack of any vanilla flavoring) • Generally, real vanilla extract is desired by bakers over imitation vanilla made from vanillin. Looking into this, it appears that vanilla pods contain some of 246 compounds; 78 of which are considered odor-active (including vanillin) *[1].* Also, this isn't much of a 'reference' but a supposed flavor-chemist pointed out on Reddit also pointed out that vanillin by itself isn't very strong, and Is very one-dimensional or "one-note" *[3]* *Issue 4: oil / sugar mixture* As others have pointed out, the sugar/fat mixture should have been mixed thoroughly, until a cream-like consistency is formed. It's not just a simple matter of "dissolve the sugar in oil". In fact, sugar doesn't like to dissolve in fat/oil in the first place, which is why when you poured out the sugar/oil solution, the camera could clearly see many sugar crystals left behind in the beaker. The purpose of this varies, but the main reason why is because you're also adding air into the mixture. The sugar crystals doesn't really "dissolve" when creating the buttercream mixture; however, they do melt when baking, leaving behind pockets of air where the sugar crystals used to be during the baking process. Some amount of air is also incorporated during the mixing process itself. The end result being a fluffier, less dense cookie. *Issue 5: cooling* This goes off the "oil/sugar mixture" issue above. It's fine to melt coconut oil, or butter during the mixing process. But you should generally cool the mixture in a fridge after you're finished making the dough. This is so that the coconut oil can re-solidify. Otherwise, the air pockets I spoke of above would just be immediately filled with the dough again. The cookie dough would also spread much more than it should during the baking process if it's not chilled *Misconception 1: wheat flour* This isn't really an "issue," more that it is a misconception due to using "pure wheat flour". Wheat flour contains whole wheat grains, meaning it contains the endosperm, Bran, and germ of the grain. This flour is much more nutritious due to the Protein and fiber content. White flour, incontrast, strictly uses the soft endosperm of the grain, and has a much milder taste The issue with wheat flour is that the Bran and germ of the grain causes a much more rough, "grainy" texture. White flour suits cookies more because it has a softer texture, and makes a much fluffier cookie. Using wheat flour is "fine" for cookies if you're trying to be healthy, but even then usually it's used as a mixture of wheat flour + white flour. *Possible issue 6: chocolate / sugar* I'm not sure if the bakers chocolate was "semi-sweet", "bittersweet" or "unsweetened". All of them are considered "bakers chocolate" but contain different amounts of sugar and cocoa. • semi-sweet contains 60% cocoa, and has more sugar • bittersweet contains 70% cocoa, and has less sugar • unsweetened has no sugar [4] Depending on which was used, you would have to compensate by adding more sugar to the cookie. Visually, It also looks like you added too little chocolate. But it's hard to tell just from the camera *References* [1] Zhang S, Mueller C.

    There's not too many ways he could have f-ed up just adding the ingredients together, unless all the equipment were contaminated in ways he as a chemist would make sure they wouldn't. Even if the ratios were wrong, things should still have tasted okay with fresh raw ingredients. It seems more likely that the insane lab grade purification of the ingredients stripped them of all moisture and complex natural aromas and left them extremely musty stale and ... woody. That said, it's hard to see how vanillin and sugar could not still taste of sweet vanilla essence, even if the flour, egg powder and chocolate would be entirely dead and tasteless. He should have tasted the ingredients.

They're designed to have imperfections, but they tell you just how many impurities there are and what kind, so you can calibrate your testing equpiment. These aren't the purest cookies ever, they're the most normal they can possibly be.
