I have a regular kitchen oven (digital controls), but I doubt it is too
accurate... but I could check it's regulation with an oven thermometer.
What sort of surface would you set the cookies on ?

Any suggestion (besides toss the 4 diskettes
right after imaging
them) ?
You probably won't get that far--the drive head will plow a groove in
the media and then it's all downhill after that.
The only way that I know of that even stands a chance of being able
to read those awful things is to remove the cookies from the jackets
and bake them (the cookies) for several hours (3 or 4) at 140F/60C in
a well-controlled oven (don't let things get too hot or you'll
destroy
them). Replace in the jacket and then do your imaging right
away--you'll anywhere from a few hours to a few days where the oxide
won't shed. After imaging, sell the disks on Etsy for decorations.
