Final answer:

The baking time for chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies depends on the specific recipe, but generally, they have similar baking times. Controls for a baking experiment would include consistent oven temperature, size of cookie dough portions, and using the same type of oven.

Step-by-step explanation:

In regards to whether chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal cookies take longer to bake, it would depend on the specific recipe used.

However, generally, both types of cookies often have similar baking times, which range from about 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie and the specific recipe details.

When referring to controls in a baking experiment, we may be discussing elements that are kept constant across every test to ensure that the results are due to the variable being tested. The three controls could include:

  • The temperature at which the cookies are baked should remain consistent, eg, 350°F or 175°C.
  • The size of the cookie dough portions used, so that each cookie has the same thickness and diameter.
  • The type and calibration of the oven used for baking, which should be the same for both types of cookies.
