Hot cookie • Today we’re baking cookies. In a car. That’s the plan at least — we just set up a camera (without proof, it didn’t happen right?) and “started baking” the cookies. Some of my co-workers don’t think it’ll work. I have complete faith that we’ll have warm, delicious (and thoroughly baked) cookies this afternoon.
A few notes:
• The temperature inside a car can climb more than 40 degrees in an hour. The forecast predicts a high of 100 today. Right now it’s 100. Heat stroke can occur when the body temperature exceeds 104 — this is why you should never, ever leave a child or adult or pet (or Bird) in a hot car.
• We’re not trying to make people sick, so we’re using Nestle Toll House refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. Any refrigerated cookie dough should work: The secret is that the eggs in the dough are pasteurized.
• We “pre-heated” our baking sheets by leaving them in the car a couple of hours before we started baking. We kept the cookie dough chilled, though.
• It’s going to take a bit longer than the 12 to 15 minutes the cookie instructions say. Even if the inside of the car hits 180 degrees, we’re looking at a bake time of at least an hour — maybe longer.
I’ll be posting updates!
