Forgive me, i can be a bit dense, but... is there a reason this wouldnt work? Would it just like flash boil and explode or something?
Because heat diffuse at a limited rate. More heat won't magically make it faster.
Increasing the heat will continue cooking an already heat soaked layer, unable to radiate that heat to the inner layer fast enough.
At best you'll get an overcooked exterior, at worst a carbonized one. In both case, the inner layer will be barely warm, and raw, of course.
Thank you for the ELI15
It's fine as long as you like your cookies with a crispy carbonized outer shell, and a raw doughy center
Like a choccy chip gusher :3
