    You know, I wish I could. I need to get off here now and do other stuff. You know, using electricity in the sewing room. I don't have a treadle...uh oh! (giggling again...)

    Who on earth can WAIT 3 hours for a homemade chocolate chip cookie to finish cooking??!!!
    ( I have tried to OD on chocolate chippers but it didn't work; I'm still doomed to love them and eat way too many!)

    Does look pretty good, though I rather like my cookies more chewy than these seem to be.

    I made this last night, and refrigerated overnight. So I am wondering if that is why they look firm? If I microwave for a few quick seconds, I expect the chips will melt a little making them a little more chewy looking? Maybe.

    I have a Faberware large toaster oven, have not had my oven on in a year or 2. Make cakes, bread whatever in over, Propane here is not cheap and electric is not as dear.

    That's next on my list. I don't have a toaster oven but think it would be easier to clean and large enough for the two of us. He likes biscuits and buys the small can (like 5 biscuits). Uses the oven to fix, which I think is ridiculous. He is skeptical about the toaster oven but I think it could work out well for us.

    I wonder if a roll of the refrigerated dough would work for this? I think I might have to try it. Yours' looks good.

    This was on our electric company website recently: A crock pot uses 75% less energy than an electric oven.
    Slow cookers use just 100 watts of electricity, which means that if you use it once a week for 8 hours at a time, it’ll only cost you about TWENTY CENTS a month in electricity!

    Now that I used the crockpot for the chocolate chip cookie, I am thinking of trying other cookie recipes, like maybe sugar cookie. Maybe.

    When I make cookies in the oven, I have to watch them and usually turn the baking sheets halfway. The crockpot was just mix the dough up, cover the crockpot with paper towels to keep moisture from dripping down on it, and let it cook. Seemed easier to me.

    Just make sure you put some paper towels on top of the crockpot between the pot and the lid. Keeps condensation from dropping down on your cookie dough.

    Thanks for letting us know how it turned out. The idea of not having to keep filling up the cookie sheets to bake them makes it a winner for me. Are there any other cookie recipes that you can do this with?
