CookieCoach Final Sample Dialog

 

JON: I want to talk to CookieCoach.

CC: Hey there! It's CookieCoach, your personal cookie expert. What recipe can I help you with today?

JON: I’m feeling like chocolate chip.

CC: I have a recipe for the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever. It takes an hour and makes 24 cookies. Ready to get started?

JON: I like the sound of that. Let’s do it.

CC: Let’s start by checking the ingredients. There’s 10 total. Do you want me to read them off one at a time or send the list to your e-mail?

JON: Read them off.

CC: Great. After I tell you an ingredient, just say “next” to move on. The first thing we need is 1 cup of softened butter.                                         

JON: Yeah. I remember. Next.

CC: Second, we need 1 cup of white sugar.

JON: Next ingredient.

CC: 1 cup of brown sugar.

JON: Actually, just send the list to my e-mail. I think I got them all.

CC: Great! Let me know when you’re ready to bake your first batch.

JON: Ready to bake.

CC: There’s 12 steps total. When you want to hear the next step, you can say “next.” Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

JON: Gotcha. What’s next?

CC: Step 2: Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl with an electric whisk until it’s smooth.

JON: What’s "creaming" mean?

CC: It’s a nice little trick where you beat together butter and sugar until it’s soft, uniform, and fluffy.

JON: Oh crap. I don’t have any butter.

CC: Do you want me to suggest a substitution or do you want to run out and grab butter?

JON: Give me a substitution.

CC: You can substitute 1 cup of butter with 3/4ths cup of vegetable oil. 

JON: Oh good. I actually have vegetable oil. Wait, how much sugar did I need again?

CC: 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar.

JON: Alright. It’s mixed. What’s next?

CC: Third, beat in the eggs, one at a time.

JON: I don’t remember how many eggs either…

CC: Two eggs.

JON: I beat them in.

CC: Next, stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

JON: Man, vanilla smells so good

CC: Yeah! I love the smell of vanilla!

[Andrew enters]

ANDREW: Hey Google, can you tell me how long it takes to walk from here to campus?

CC: Sorry, I don’t know how long it takes. But if you have any questions about cookies, I’m all ears!

JON (to Andrew): Dude, get out. I’m trying to do something here.

ANDREW: Ok, Ok.

[Andrew exits]

JON: What’s the next step?

CC: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda into 2 teaspoons of hot water, adding it to batter.

JON: What the heck is that supposed to look like after you mix it.

CC: The baking soda and water mixture looks a little like watered down milk.

JON: Ok. Next.

CC: Add ½ teaspoon of salt to the batter.

JON: Next step

CC: Stir in 3 cups of flour.

JON: Ok. And now?

CC: Add in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

JON: I’m done

CC: Perfect! We just finished making the cookie dough. Now, drop large spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased pans. Make sure to give them some room to spread.

JON: Cool. Now what?

CC: Last but not least, bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Do you want me to set a timer for 10 minutes?

JON: Set it.

CC: 10 minutes and counting. I’ll let you know when it’s done!

[10 minutes later]

[Device plays melody, indicating timer is done.]

CC: It’s time for the cookies to come out of the oven!

JON: Thanks…. Uh oh, these cookies are way undercooked.

CC: Try putting them back in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a minute until the edges are golden brown. If there's anything else you don't love about the cookies, let me know.

[Two minutes pass]

JON: Ok. The cookies done now. They look great.

CC: Make sure you give 3-5 minutes to cool. I hope they taste amazing!

JON: Thanks for the help. Bye.

CC: Next time, if you're feeling nutty, I can talk you through a delicious peanut butter cookie recipe that I LOVE. Good night!
