Joel and I decided to bake galletas (cookies) for my host family in La Concha (where I went to Spanish school), who we're visiting this weekend! Our only option is baking them in the toaster since there's no oven at the office in Managua. It is Semana Santa here in Nicaragua where most of the country isn't working and celebrating Jesus's resurrection.
While making several batches, we learned the quarks of baking in a toaster oven: baking for 4 minutes is about ideal. Any more than that, and they get too crispy for our tastes. We just used regular recipes for M&M cookies and Becky's favorite oatmeal raisin cookies. When we gave them to my homestay family, they didn't last till the next morning.
