@Kachina624 Sorry I wouldn't put off baking until a different season LOL. I always baked in any weather. I never found my stove added all that much heat.

@Love my grandkids. I never bake in the summer, especially cookies which require the oven be on for an hour or more. I only use my Breville oven briefly. Of course it's very hot here so we learn to conserve our cool air, about 97° today. Using an oven definitely makes AC work harder.

My oven is off until October. I live in an apartment, and even with two AC's you can probably imagine what having the oven on would do to the temperature. I do use the oven feature in the toaster oven for short periods in the summer.
My mother always used to keep the house dark in the summer when I was a kid. We had no AC then and it did help. That and the awnings that my poor father had to put up on each window in the spring and take down in the fall.

I only bake and cook when necessary during this hot weather. I do make double portions of meatloaf, sauces, soups that I just heat in the microwave. Most of these hot, humid nights, we're just not in the mood for a "meal". We may may do burgers or chicken on the grill, but most of the time, it's salads or veggie omelets.

My Sunday was very busy for me--not sure why but the cleaning bug bit me hard---and I went crazy---my big job was cleaning my Ninja outdoor grill--finally--geez what a mess. Mostly the rolling stand I put it on. Was a greasy mess. Today will de- grease the machine itself---and then cleaned out my cats kennel, cleaned my shower/bathtub, cleared and clean my tiny balcony and even bleached/scrubbed my white Clarks flip flops---man----was a cleaning fool!! ![]()

@Luvsmyfam I have baked cookies, and cakes, and brownies, etc. in 90 degree weather without an air conditioner, but with the windows and doors open.
This is how people bake in other countries.
Not everyone has an air conditioner or cooler weather in a different season.
Enjoy your cookies and am sure many will be grateful for your generosity!
