## Caption

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I use a mix of premium and budget-friendly ingredients in my baking.

But what would happen if I made the EXACT same chocolate chip cookie recipe two ways: one using only the most expensive ingredients I could find, and one using only the cheapest?

I put it to the test.

The “expensive” batch cost over $50 to make. The budget version was about half that.

Before I tell you what happened: Which cookie do YOU think won? 👇

I won’t spoil the results here, but I’ve shared them in the comments for anyone who’s curious. And if you’d like to watch the full taste-test and see exactly which ingredients I used, comment VIDEO and I’ll send you the link!
