How to bake cookies in your car

It’s hot out there.

And while some of us grumble about the heat, others are having fun with it.

Web reporter Brittany Nunn of Amarillo, Texas, took advantage of the 38 C heat and attempted to prove true a delicious rumour: cookies can be baked in a hot car.

Armed with baking sheets, non-stick cooking spray and a tub of cookie dough, Nunn and a co-worker prepped cookies in her “oven,” the 88 C backseat of her car.

She left them to “bake” for two hours.


Success!

“And I must say, snacking on cookies is without a doubt the perfect way to celebrate the 27th day of triple-digit heat,” she wrote at the Amarillo Globe-News.

Baking Bites explains how to make your own car-baked cookies here. If you’re going the premade-cookie-dough route — and have salmonella concerns — choose dough made with pasteurized eggs.

Warning: If you try this in your vehicle, it will likely smell like cookies for a month. This could be a good thing — or an evil tease every time you buckle up.
