Minerals and electrolytes won't be harmed by baking, vitamins will.

But I kinda have my doubts you could get enough e'lytes into her just
through cookies.  If she stops eating, let her eat first and then syringe,
plus try smaller, more frequent doses mixed with applesauce.  Too much of a
dose at one time on an empty stomach gives them a tummy ache.
