Everybody in Lake Havasu City knows it’s really hot when Mrs. Dash – Brigid Stevens – makes her dashboard cookies. She’s been using the Lake Havasu sizzling summers to hone her craft as the “dashboard cookie lady.”

Stevens decided that today was the day, so at 6:45 a.m., when the temperature was 95 degrees, on the dashboard they went! At 12:40 p.m., the cookies came off. The temperature was 115.

The baking time was a little bit longer than years past because there was a cloud cover.

Stevens has been making the dashboard cookies since 2008.
