no, nothing kinky, promise!
im going to a cookie exchange tomorrow evening after work, and i need to make 7 dozen cookies tonight for it (i wont have time tomorrow).
my recipe involved whipped topping/coolwhip, which actually gets mixed in with the other ingredients to make the dough. i bought 12 oz containers. because i have never really used cool whip before, i didnt realize you have to thaw it. that size container tales 5 hours to thaw. so it'll be thawed by 11:30 EST tonight. luckily i already had a container thawed, so i have already made some of the cookies. but...
QUESTION: can you thaw cool whip in the microwave? have any of you personally done it, and if so, do you have advice?
google was little help. it took me to the kraft website, which told me microwave thawing is not reccomended, due to wattage variations. but if i do it , like, 20 seconds at a time, could it work? im wondering if it's a wattage/timing issue or if it's really a texture/chemical change issue.
