What is the purpose of adding vanilla extract to cookie/brownie dough apart from its flavour?!


Question: Some additives such as vanilla and salt, not only add flavor, but are considered flavor enhancers. In other words, they help bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.

There is no other purpose. Vanilla is all about the flavour.

The purpose of any extract is solely flavor.

In the particular case of vanilla and chocolate, the two plants that they come from originated in the same place - the rain forests of southern Mexico and Latin America - and the flavors have a great affinity for each other. For as long as the history of the two ingredients has been recorded, chocolate and vanilla have often been served in the same dish. The Mayans often flavored their cacao drinks with vanilla - long before the Spanish arrived.

too add flavor, it makes sweets better...

nothing, flavor is all of it

to be more delicious and to have vanilla flavor like vanilla icecreams.

Umm... THE FLAVOUR!!?!! silly billy!!

It takes away from the bad "egg" taste since there are more likely raw eggs in the cookie dough. Vanilla helps to eliminate that taste in the cookie dough.

its for the flavour
