RV-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, soft

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1  cup  chocolate chips

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in egg, followed by flour mixture and chocolate chips.

Place dough on a large sheet of wax paper and roll into a log approximately 11-inches long by 2.5-inches wide. Freeze for 2-3 hours, or overnight.

When ready to bake, park your RV/Car/Truck in the sun on a 100F+ day. Slice cookies into 1/4-inch thick slices and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet on  dashboard (with protective towel underneath) and bake for 2 1/2-3 hours, until done.

If you have a big dashboard (or a friend with another car), you can do two batches at once, otherwise you can save half of the dough for another day.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

I shall only provide a link to a previous post with my first post being a good example.  We in Oklahoma City are expecting to break a heat record on Sunday with more than 50 days this year over 100 degrees.  Sadly, a community down towards the Red River has had over 60-some days of 100+.

I didn't catch the details this morning, but he weatherman was saying something to the effect that Oklahoma'a average temperature was making us the hottest state in the union.  The mobile home park where we live has some folks that train race horses and they are only exercising the horses in the wee hours of the morning and late at night.

Anyway, the first post at this link gives you an idea of our heat issues.

I watched a news reporter cook a steak in a throw away pan on the dash of his car. The inside temperature of the car read 195 degrees. After a half hour the steak showed a temperature reading of 160 degrees, medium well.

Isn't funny how when we had all of the freezing cold weather during the winter it was blamed on global warming and now that it is unusually hot it's also blamed on global warming. When I'm towing up a steep grade my cooling system begins to heat up on all hills, it doesn't cool down on some hills and heat up on others. You'd think global warming would mean hot not cold ???
