Formulasi Soft Cookies Grontol Jagung Kekinian Dalam Upaya: Revitalisasi Kuliner Tradisional Indonesia

ABSTRACT
Traditional culinary of Indonesia, particularly grontol jagung from Central Java and Yogyakarta, faces extinction due to shifting food preferences among younger generations. This study aims to find the best formulation of soft cookies incorporating grontol jagung as a revitalization effort for Indonesian traditional cuisine. Utilizing the Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model, four formulation variations were developed: F1 as control (0% grontol jagung), F2 (200%), F3 (160%), and F4 (120%) substituting dark chocolate with grontol jagung. Validation was conducted through two stages of expert judgement by three panelists evaluating taste, color, aroma, and texture. Results showed that F4 achieved the highest average score of 16.33 out of 20, successfully balancing authentic grontol jagung character with a contemporary soft cookies profile. The final product, "Grookie" features golden-brown color, a combined aroma of grontol jagung, vanilla, and butter, with a crunchy exterior and soft chewy interior, filled with grontol jagung custard and topped with grated coconut.
