Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM) and the Michigan Science Center (Mi-Sci) are teaming up to celebrate cookie-selling season with a cool NEW “Science Of The Cookie”series that kicks off on Saturday, March 4th.
Get ready to experience your favorite Girl Scout cookies in a whole new way! Beginning March 4th, the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan and the Michigan Science Center will host special cooking demonstrations on Mi-Sci’s Science Stage. The event series kicks off with edibleWOW and chef Amanda Saab exploring “The Color of Butter”. Guests will get to see how culinary skills and chemistry interact to change the flavor profiles in baked goods when the color of butter changes with heat.
Additional science demonstrations will take place on weekends from March 4th to April 9th and include activities such as “Cookie Nightmares,” a guessing game using “cookie fails” to learn about the importance of each ingredient in a classic chocolate chip cookie, and “Cookie Excavation,” where visitors can try out their archaeological skills and practice using tools as they carefully “excavate” chocolate chips from a cookie and map their location on a grid.
In addition to the science demonstrations, Girl Scout troops will sell cookies in the Michigan Science Center lobby every weekend through April 9th. Making it easy for you to do taste testing experiments at home (and support locla Girl Scouts!).
