I have bought a microwave oven. But after buying this oven, my friends told me that I can not make cakes and cookies with this oven. Because it not a Convection type oven. Even the salesman didnot mention it while buying. Then main reason for buying that oven was to make cookies and cakes. I find it very annoying that I cannot make those with it! Is it possible to make cakes and cookies in normal Microwave Oven?

No, they do not rise and do not turn out well. Did you tell the salesman that was the major reason you were buying it?
Take it back to the store and get a counter top toaster or convection oven. We have a great one made by Wolfgang Puck, we bought it through HSN that does cookies and cakes to perfection. Here is a link to the 24L size, there is a larger one available. We love ours, it also does great pizza, bread and the rotisserie works great too. We got ours after using one at my Mother in Laws house. The great thing is in the summer we use it on the patio and it doesn't heat the house the way the big oven does!

You can't bake large batches in an easy bake, it's a pain in the.....
Okay for a few, but not for larger batches, bread, bundt cake, etc.

it's very difficult to make good cakes and cookies by microwave but there are some good recipes out there. here's one for cheesecake:
Crust ingredients:
1/4 C Butter or margerine
1 C graham cracker crumbs
Filling ingredients:
1 (8 oz package) cream cheese
1/3 C sugar
1 egg
1 T lemon juice
Topping
1 C sour cream
3 T sugar
Directions:
Put butter in a 9 inch pie dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds, until melted. Stir in crumbs. Press over bottom and sidesof dish. Microwave 2-3 minutes, until set.
Put cream cheese in a large glass mixing bowl. microwave on LOW (30%) power 30-45 seconds, until softened. Beat in sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in lemon juice. Pour mixture into cooled crust.
Microwave 2-3 minutes until set around edges. Turn dish a half turn halfway through cooking. Mix together sour cream and sugar. Spread over cheesecake. Microwave 1-1 1/2 minutes, until topping is heated through.
Cool. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Makes 6-8 servings

Yes, in my home-ec class in high school we made cupcakes with our microwave. I would not reccommend it though. They have maybe half as much flavor as something baked in a regular oven and do not rise as they would in a regular oven. But it is possible.
I am not sure about cookies though.

I've made cookies in mine, and liked them very much. Guess it depends on your recipe. You can't make just any recipe in it. You need recipes written specifically for microwaves.

yeah, my sister and I have tested it out, they don't come out that great, sorry...they don't seem to heat evenly so you will end up with a cookie that is partly raw and doughy and partly ...burnt.
