Use a cookie scoop (I used the purple-1/8 cup scoop) and place each scoop about two inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Parchment paper or Silpat mat works great too. Next, push the center of the cookies as illustrated above with a small glass bottom or tart pusher but not all the way through. I bake my cookies for 8-10 minutes. (please note *whole wheat takes longer to bake-9-10 minutes).
Cream Cheese Frosting: Frosts one bundt cake or 3-4 dozen cookies or 3 dozen cupcakes.
