The Chemistry of Cookies

I thought this might be fun and appropriate to post today, as so many people find themselves between their Christmas feasting and New Year's revelries... The Chemistry of Cookies.

Very short, very well done, and fascinating. Enjoy!

On a related note, I also really love this graphic from themetapicture showing the differences in how cookies look depending on the your ingredient ratios/choices - this should be in every cookbook!
