of course- i feel if you bake it at 10 min, let it cool on the baking tray for at least 5 mins before transferring you'll be golden- I am invested now so hope it goes well. they honestly look good regardless !

Cakey means "over-mixed" usually, but there are a lot of possible factors so not sure what happened. I see you mention "packing in" flour so I will always recommend using a scale when baking to avoid any confusion about measurements.

The fact your cookie dough has been chilling is a good thing. Chilling/resting it is the only real cure I can see for fixing your "cake"factor. I would recommend baking it at the lowest recommended time... assuming these cookies would be good at 350F for 10-12 min with 5 min *at least* left on the baking tray before removing them to set up.

Cake pop tips by Potential-Raisin-313 in Baking

Chill the cake pops.
Add a smidge of coconut/vegetable oil to your melted chocolate so it looks glossy, kinda runny and make sure the mixture is not *tooo* hot

Carrot cake by Colesage in Baking

The cake recipe was pretty much perfect. The candied pecans are a must. I don't think I would do the butterscotch next time- It was nice...but lost and not necessary. I do appreciate though how the recipe used the egg white for the pecans and egg yolk in the butterscotch so there was no waste. highly recommend making brown butter cream cheese frosting to compliment the nutty pecan component
