Yes, you can cook frozen cookie dough in the microwave, but the results may not be the same as baking in an oven. To do this, place a portion of the frozen dough on a microwave-safe plate and heat it on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking for doneness. The cookie may turn out softer and chewier compared to oven-baked cookies. It's best to experiment with your microwave's power level and cooking time for optimal results.

Empty dishes do not heat up in a microwave because there is nothing for the microwave energy to interact with and convert into heat. The microwaves require water molecules or other substances to absorb them and generate heat, which is why only food or liquids heat up in the microwave.
To quickly thaw frozen pizza dough, place it in a warm area or microwave it on a low setting for short intervals until it softens. Avoid using high heat to prevent cooking the dough.
