Carly, I love this recipe. I live in Seoul, and here, most of us do not have ovens. Last winter, in a combined act of curiosity and desperation, a friend of mine made a disposable oven with two metal bowls, a lamp, a wire screen, some aluminum foil, and dvd rewrite discs as reflectors. And it actually turned out some pretty decent chocolate chip cookies. Something tells me your methods are safer. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks!
