Iteration
Improvement
For my final pick, tofu cookie became my final choice. In the idea test 1 for my tofu cookie, I found out that the tofu flavor was not that strong and colorless. Therefore, I decided to make another new recipe for the cookie.
For the improvements, I am more focusing on flavor, color and texture of the cookie.
Egg: more yellow color after baked
Tofu and sugar: to stronger the taste of the tufo and the sweetness of the cookies.
Baking soda: more crunchy.
