Idea triggered by the ingenious device presented by [FJ].
Spinning motion creates high centrifugal forces. Washing machines use this to squeeze water out of the laundry, so they must achieve some pretty high force. The idea is to make Teflon inserts for the drum that close the holes and have raised
ridges in the desired cookie shapes.
You throw in the ingredients and let the drum do the mixing at low speed. At the end high speed pushes the dough into the Teflon walls. Under the high forces the dough behaves more like a liquid and spreads out evenly, filling even the tightest corners. The user takes out the Teflon inserts (hurry up the cookies do tend to drop out), pushes them flat and bakes. A heater in the drum could also do the baking, but then all the cookies would be rounded.
As added bonus set comes with a plastic mesh basket to safely wash and dry your lettuce.
Suddenly your washing machine is not a Cinderella appliance in the stuffy, wet basement any more. It becomes the beloved, shining princess of your kitchen. Prior art

If you're going to run a whole cycle, you might want to find a way to disable the water unless you're just putting in the dry ingredients for a LOT of cookies. |

So I take it this isn't EXACTLY for the Oreo® Crowd, eh'? But bun anyway - Mmmm - cookies. [+] |
