Does anyone know a recipe for baking cookies in the micro-
wave? If not, anyone know why people don't cook cookies in
the microwave?

Well, with my microwave (Amana) came a cookbook that had a recipe
for microwave chocolate chip cookies, great, eh? They were pretty
awful. Problems were manifold, but the worst are that the distribution
of microwaves tended to locally carmelize the sugar in a few spots,
and when that happens you get a royal mess to clean up. Whatever,
cookies only take a few minutes to cook the normal way!
By the way, I have also heard (but not tried) that if you try to cook
an Angel food cake in a microwave it comes out like Elmers Glue (yum!)
