You may be craving some homemade cookies on a hot day, but the last thing you want to do is fire up your oven. Take advantage of the heat and bake cookies on your car dashboard. This article will teach you how to bake cookies on the dashboard of your car or truck.

Remove the cookie sheet from your car. Remove the cookies from the sheet with a spatula and place them on a wire rack to cool completely, although they won't be as hot as when they're removed from the oven.

Open the car door to check your cookies when they begin to look set. Touch the edges and the centers. The edges should be firm, and the centers should be set but not gooey.

Keep an eye on the baking process by looking through the windshield regularly. The cooking time will vary depending on the temperature inside your car. Your cookies will set, but they won't brown much because the car isn't hot enough to caramelize the sugars in the cookies.

You can expect the cookies to begin baking immediately but unlike baking in oven, it's advised to hang around and keep an eye on things as this is far more experimental than standard baking.

You will have to keep your car doors and windows closed throughout the baking process. Ensure that the car is parked somewhere clean and away from the exhaust of other cars that are running.
