Does everyone think its crazy to bake cookies inside a car on a hot sunny day?
I don't think it is at all. I know it works and I have really wanted to try it since last summer. Is anyone with me in thinking this is a great idea! I could probably sell them for a $1 a peice to my coworkers!

I would put them on a cookie sheet on the dash board for 4-5 hours with the windows rolled up. I also heard it would HAVE to be about 95-100 degrees outside(which is often in TX) so that the temp inside can get up to around 200. I think the only way to figure this our would be to try it out.

I think this is completely sane and rational. The people questioning you are crazy.
I do think that is is weird. But i think that is pretty amazing that it works. Do you just leave them in their?
cool how do you make em? inquiring minds wanna know.
Hmmm....O.K....I'm gonna have to take your word for it on this one. I can only assume it's a VERY hot day, the windows are up, and the cookie sheet is on the dashboard facing the sun...for a while.
My health concern; however, is if the recipe has eggs or dairy in it, I'm hesitant to believe the car is getting the cookies to 140 degrees. This is necessary to kill bacteria. No use giving yourself & loved ones food poisoning when an oven will do just fine.
They won't be very good. Cookies are usually baked at 325 to 375 farenheit.
Part of the yumminess of baked goods are the flavors of the roasted flour, the melted and carmelized sugar. In the cooking biz, we call this "GBD," short for golden-brown-delicious. This isn't going to happen at 140 or 150 degrees, no matter how long they stay in the car.
Note that water boils at 212 -- your car won't even make a decent cup of tea!
Another option is to cook things on the engine block with the car running. I've never done it, but I know it can be a fun project. There was a book called "Manifold Destiny" about cooking on the engine.
Some guys who worked for me used to keep their homemade burritos under the hood, and they were nice and warm by lunchtime.
it may work, but people may have a problem with cookies being made in a car, considering how a lot of people keep there cars...
if it works you must tell us that is so intresting lol! im sure it will work because cars can get up to very high temps inside, its a "greenhosue effect" suns heat can come thu but it cant get out! ( thanks earth science class), then again it may not work, it may just melt them and make a mess. so be prepared for messes lol
You can use aluminum foil to help concentrate the heat and sun rays.
