If you have a favorite cookie recipe, don’t hesitate to adapt it for this method. Just reduce the temperature by 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit (around 15 degrees Celsius). Monitor the cookies baking time closely, as it will likely be shorter, closer to 8 minutes total. Almost all have a glass front so you can see what is going on a pull them out once they start to crack on the edges.

With creations that have a topping like these with brown sugar and oats you will want to watch closer so that doesn’t get too done. You can lower to a lower rack if possible especially if the heating coils are at the top inside. Consider the size and shape of your cookie too, they should all be the same size. Small, uniform, are easier to bake evenly with the best results.

Baking in a toaster oven can be a convenient and efficient way to prepare a variety of dishes, especially when you don’t want to use a full-sized oven. Here are some tips to help you get the best results when baking in a toaster oven:

1. Choose oven-safe cookware that fits comfortably inside this smaller appliance. Opt for small baking pans, muffin tins, or ovenproof dishes that allow for proper air circulation. Consider using silicone bakeware or non-stick pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

5. Keep in mind that you may need to reduce the cooking time specified in your recipes or monitor the progress closely to prevent overcooking.
6. Use a toothpick, cake tester, or a fork to check the doneness of baked goods like small batch cupcakes or muffins. Insert it into the center, and if it comes out clean, your baked item is likely done.
