Sunday cookies with a twist!


As I have said before, Sundays are a day of popcorn and cookies. This Sunday we decided to try something different. Since it has been so ridiculously HOT here in Texas we decided to try our hand at "Dashboard Cookies."


Jason made cookie dough yesterday and we put some in the car to cook during church. Apparently it takes more than 3 hours to cook chocolate chip cookies on the dashboard of your car. So, we carried them home and waited some more.


We made sure that they were in the sun the entire time. (Really hard I know)


Cooking. . .


and Cooking. . .


and Cooking. . .


Almost Done.


FINALLY!

*note: still a need for an oven mitt. Yup, it is that HOT!





I guess there is no need to heat up our house when the Lord will cook them in our car. We just have to be patient. They were a bit different, but just as good!

Jenny, here is the recipe we use. We didn't change it in any way.


Jason's Chocolate Chip cookies


3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 cube butter(if refrigerated, microwave for 13 seconds)

1/2 cup shortening

1 egg

vanilla(we don't measure this, but 1 tsp would work)
2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

chocolate chips(we use milk and semi-sweet if we have it)


put in the dash of your car for 4 hours(if the weather is cooking)

OR

cook at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes


Now it is your turn, share your recipe with us. The more cookie recipes we have the better. I am pregnant!
