5. Now mix in the flour 1 cup at a time for a smooth dough…the dough will be light and fluffy.
6. Using the scoop, place the cakes 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet (dough will spread).
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a rack or plate to cool completely.
9. Let the cakes cool to touch before glazing -also glazing is optional, these are great without the glaze too!.
