Questions for cookie baking experts?

Right now I'm living abroad (in Egypt) and have very limited resources to make cookiesMany things are either not available, too expensive because they're imported, and what I don't have (like baking sheets) I don't want to buy since I'm leaving soonI'll list my limitations and I just want to know, give these, can I still bake cookies??1I only have a toaster oven, it has heat coils on the top and bottom like a real oven though.2Cooking spray like Pam is too expensive here, can I grease with butter?3I don't have baking sheetsParchment paper isn't available eitherI have aluminum foil and I heard I can bake on a brown paper bag? Would I grease that too?4There is no nutmeg, basically the only spices I can easily find are cinnamon and ginger.5I don't have an electric mixer.6I don't have any measuring spoons/ cupsI have standard size plastic picnic spoons, is that about the size of a table spoon? Also I have those clear plastic Dixie cups, no idea how many would fill an actual cup.

Answer:

Have been dealing with the same thing todayThere are a few ways of catching them if you have a search on google there are loads of waysThe best way is to set mouse traps and use peanut butter and/or breadGuarantee you'll catch them as they adore peanut butter although different mouses like different foodsBut peanut butter is liked by around 9/10 miceThe mouse in my house is behind the cupboard in the kitchenDont know how its got there but it has been having a go at the breadJust waiting for the little sht to be caughtDisgusting little things!!!
if the oven heats to 350 you should be fineYou can use butterI don't know about the paper bag, but you can try wrapping a thin piece of cardboard in aluminum foil or maybe the paper bag, just make sure it is enclosed completely so it doesn't catch fireYou could make snickerdoodles which are basically like a sugar cookie dough that you roll into a ball and the coat in a cinnamon sugar mixtureAnd you don't need to grease a pan with snickerdoodlesThere weren't electric mixers in the early days- so yes, you can still make them but it will take a lot of workMake sure your butter is softened before you cream in the sugarIf you have a shot glass they measure one ounce and eight ounces makes one cupThe plastic spoons maybe measure half of a tablespoonDon't be scared to try itIf the cookies in the store are so awful and many have never had them, whats it going to hurt? just make sure to bake the cookies until they are a light golden brownAnd, good luck to you.
id get the solid poison pelletsyou can just throw them aroundHowever the problem is later finding the decaying rats that smell badI'd put the poison in an accessible place outside where the rats will wither in pain until they die
There's quite a size difference between the Field Mouse and the Norway Rat.Are you sure that there's Rats up there and not mice ? Interesting to know how they got up there,usually there in a basement.Maybe they're squirrels or a raccoon ?! Maybe place the trap right near your peep holeyoutu.be/gt2W1YGpQJg - One thing that came to mind was Michael ,there's rats in here youtu.be/BPi2AetitZc - or draw them out with a flute youtu.be/UXOCHn7Vfec.
