HI - this is kind of an unusual request, but does anyone have recipes, or suggestions for converting recipes, for making cookies in the microwave?
Backstory - I cook on a wood stove, and several months out of the year I am NOT about to get it hot enough to bake in the oven. I do like cookies though and I do have a large microwave.
I am hoping for real cookies, not the kind where you mix cold cereal and chocolate chips or some such things.
Thanks in advance!

I don't believe you can bake cookies in a microwave unless the recipe is made specifically for the microwave. I would google microwave cookies and see if any recipes come up. Good luck.

Found these for you:

Enjoy!

thanks, I will try some out. Fall is coming soon, and I can go back to firing up the old Crawford!

I've never made cookies in the microwave ... but you can do it in a toaster oven.

These recipes look good enough to eat. I'm thinking of all the college students who only have microwave ovens. I'm booking this site. :thumbup:

I have made brownies and cakes in the microwave. but I never heard of regular cookies being done that way. Let us know if you find a good recipe. I have just a window air conditioner and can't use the oven in the bad heat. Mary

I make bread pudding and fruit crisps in the microwave.

Quick and easy cookies:

1 C sugar
1 C light corn syrup
1 C peanut butter
8 oz Fritoes
Spread Fritoes on a dish. Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir peanut butter into sugar mixture and pour over Fritoes.

My mother cooked on a wood burning stove for a number of years. (Early 1940's) Really nice in the winter but hard on everyone in the summer. And no microwaves then. Goodluck

Sounds great, but I'd never get to make it. My hubby would eat the peanut butter, so I'd have to finish off the Fritoes!

has anyone tried that chocolate cake in a mug that you cook in the microwave? I am dying to try that.

I just got the recipe and tried it. Wasn't sure what wattage my oven is, so I cooked it at 90% power. It was a little dry and spongy, so 80% might work better. However, the extra chocolate chips I used helped that! I used a soup mug instead of a coffee mug and it was enough for two.

I had the recipe and made it a few times....I would always eat the whole thing and then feel stuffed. I finally threw the recipe away so I wouldn't be tempted!! :-D

they call it the most dangerous recipe in the world - because at any time you are less than 5 minutes away from chocolate cake!!

Does any one have the receipr for the cake in a mug. Sounds like it would be so good for just the 2 of us. Thanks, Donna, The Rustic Quilter

This sounds so good but I can't eat chocolate. Has anyone tried making it with out chocolate? Maybe with fruit?

wow, I feel so bad thinking about someone who can't have chocolate! So I went and found this for you.

It sounds good because you can make it up in batches and give the mix as a gift, in a mug.

ptquilts, thank you so much. I am going to try it. I see that there are also other desserts that can be made in the micro-wave. I am always looking for them as we travel a lot in our trailer and hate to lite the oven.
It will have to wait though. We are about to leave for a month in Europe. We will be traveling in a small motorhome and it has no micro-wave.
It was so nice of you to do that for me.
Happy quilting.

wow, what a great vacation you will have! I hope you will post updates when you can, and pics when you get back. What countries are you visiting?

We are flying into Frankfurt, Germany. Then Austria and Italy. We take an over night ferry from Venice to Greece and tour there. Then back to Italy and more touring in Austria and Germany. You can see the trip at rvtoureurope.com.
I won't have computer use while I am gone.

That is a great recipe. Gave it to our librarians and secretaries one year for Christmas in mugs with little "mug rugs". They loved it. Of course, had to keep some for home.
