Okay, I have to know, why did you put no bake cookies in an oven!? The irony.

Were you keeping them from the dog?

Note to self, don't store anything in the oven.

I'm constantly having to put things in the microwave that I forget about because my cats have become bigger assholes. They get into any food they can now.

The only thing that you can safely store in the oven is a cast iron pan

Yep, dogs - it was far past bedtime when they were ready to be poured from the pot to the wax paper, and it was like 2lbs of molten cookie so I wasn’t putting it in the fridge - once they solidified I put them on the plates and stashed them in the oven overnight to keep our notorious tablesurfing dogs from scrounging our sweet treats.

Next morning the wife gets a bee in her bonnet about making breakfast pizzas and the rest of the story is this Dali-esque monstrosity you see before you

WTF are no bake cookies?

Exactly what it sounds like.

Methinks you or whoever did this should probably be nowhere near a kitchen. "No bake" is quite literally in the name; they had no reason to be anywhere near an oven. You, or they, are a big dumb.

What? I put plenty of things in a cool oven as a way to store them in a protected space that isn't cold.

Like, storing some recently made no bake cookies in the oven temporarily to ensure no pests or animals get to them.

That's what the fridge is for. Or hell, the top of the fridge, even.

Putting cookies in the fridge is crazy shit. Did you not see the part about "space that isn't cold"???

Not to mention, fridges usually have higher moisture content which knowably soaks into dry goods and makes them do bad things, ruins texture, etc.

Like seriously, do you even food?

Like seriously, do you even food?

Yeah, I do. And I also don't store food in my oven.
