Baking instructions:
Using an ice-cream scoop, place a full scoop of the mixed dough on a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
You can also use a small melon scoop for smaller cakes or use any baking molds you prefer. You can also roll out the dough on a small amount of flour and cut with cookie cutters (cooking time will differ).
For crunchier cookies — or pup-cakes — turn off the oven and leave in for an additional 20 minutes.
