- ✓Use powdered sugar instead of granulated because its cornstarch content (3-5%) acts as a stabilizer and prevents the cookie from spreading excessively in the microwave's rapid heating.ingredient3-5% cornstarch
- ✓Cook the cookie for 45-60 seconds initially, then check every 15 seconds - microwaves create hot spots that can overcook sections while leaving others underdone.timing45-60 seconds, then 15-second intervals
- ✓Flatten the dough to exactly 1/2 inch thickness because microwave penetration is limited to about 1 inch depth, ensuring even cooking throughout.technique1/2 inch thickness
