I like to bake and cook. A lot. Unfortunately, the oven has gone out in the T home. The stove top and the broiler still work, but not the oven. While this will be fixed soon, I still am having baking withdrawals where Little Debbie just won't cut it. One hot day I was going to bake some cookies on the dashboard in my car, but it didn't get hot enough. I already had the batter mixed and ready to go, so in a moment of desparation I googled "microwave cookies". I found that if you cook them in the microwave on wax paper for about 2 minutes, they would turn out fine. The chocolate cookie mix I tried worked perfectly. The homemade oatmeal (above) were another thing entirely. Initially I made the cookies too big, and I had to cook them a long time which led to not being as chewy as I like. Then, there was the problem with the one in the very middle getting a little burnt. I worked around these difficulties, and found that with a small round cookie (about a full, round teaspoon), one minute and thirty seconds did the trick. They aren't quite as good as oven cookies, but in desparation they work perfectly. So if you're short on time or an oven, give it a try! Works for me!

Wow! Who woulda thought you could make cookies in the microwave?
I've made microwave bars before that turn out pretty good, they're even topped with chocolate... but I've never heard of microwaving cookies! I'm definitely going to try this out sometime. Thanks for the tip! =)
As they say in Little Women, "Necessity is indeed the mother of invention." Great job!
I would have never tried this on my own. Thanks for the idea!
