It's hot. Why not bake?
It's 89 degrees outside and the temperatures are rising, with a predicted high of around 100 degrees.
So, of course, we decided to bake.
We spotted a story on Think Geek earlier this week and decided to give it a try. In their baking experiment, it took 5 hours for a pan of cookies to cook through. The result, crispy and totally edible cookies.
Ours went in the "oven" at 10:45 a.m. The car's thermometer read 86 degrees, but the air had been on for our trip to the grocery store.
10:45 a.m.: Fresh from the package.
11:50 a.m.: They're getting goey.
12:45 p.m.: Two hours in and still just gooey.
2:35 p.m.: DONE!
Just to be sure.
And the verdict? Chewy, nicely crisp on the top and bottom and gooey inside. The perfect chocolate chip cookie.
Cookie Cam: 10:45 a.m. and 89 degrees.
Cookie Cam: 11:50 a.m. and 92 degrees.
Cookie Cam: 12:45 p.m. and 94 degrees.
Cookie Cam: 2:35 p.m. + 98 degrees = DONE!
Yup. They're done.
Yum!
