Baking a simple cookie requires careful measuring and mixing of ingredients to produce a cookie with the right texture, taste, and consistency. An imbalance in even a single ingredient can make it go haywire and instead of expecting a crumbly cookie, you can end up eating a pebble. The process of carefully selecting, measuring, and adding ingredients can help boost focus, making cooking an effective way to improve cognitive function.

Cooking has proven to be an effective way to build relationships and improve socialization skills. Therefore, baking can effectively contribute to improving social welfare.
