We challenged chefs of three different skill levels amateur Emily, home cook Beth, and professional chef Penny Stankiewicz from The Institute Of Culinary Education to make us a batch of sugar cookies. Once each level of chef had presented their bakes, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each of them made along the way both good and bad. Which cookie would you sneak out of the kitchen just before bed?
