Expedition 61 commander Luca Parmitano described the baking process in a statement provided by NASA to The Verge:

The oven is very, very simple to use, and I think it worked as expected. We were able to bake the samples, but it took a few attempts to figure out how long they had to stay in the oven.
The samples are now stored in a freezer to be returned to the Earth for analysis. We'll see how well it worked!

Expedition 61 flight engineer Christina Koch shared a photo of her and Parmitano with one of the baked cookies via Twitter:

How well it worked? Did the astronauts get to sample the results? I would think if anyone could tell how well the cookies tasted and were cooked it would be the astronauts.

The cookies were not consumed by the crew. The question is less how they tasted and more how the oven performed, so that analysis will be done by researchers on the ground.

Doubletree did send some pre-baked cookies for the astronauts to enjoy, though.

Hilton's first cookie baked in space offered to Smithsonian for display
The first cookie to be baked in space may soon be bound for the Smithsonian.
DoubleTree by Hilton announced the results of the first-ever bake-off held off the planet on Thursday (Jan. 23), two weeks after three of its signature chocolate chip cookies returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS).
