I'm sure if I had a normal powered blender and not a sad little Magic Bullet that would have helped too. I have to say these cookies were far more work than I anticipated, I'm more of a 'mix and scoop' kind of cookie baker. But I was pleasantly surprised at how well they baked after I wrestled with the dough - and yes you do have to add a LOT of flour before the dough loses all that stickiness. My four-year old was happy to keep throwing more flour at the dough every time I said 'hit me!' The end result reminded me a bit of those Mexican wedding cookies, only orange flavored which was a nice change. My dough-wrapping skills need a little work though, as my husband said (jokingly) that they looked like confetti covered little turds. *LOL*NikkiG61576https://www.blogger.com/profile/08581600875063363893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737998905575166794.post-12182748263124426002013-01-21T13:03:15.457-08:002013-01-21T13:03:15.457-08:00Hi Nikki.

Because the eggs and OJ will presumably be cold, the mixture won't ever be perfectly smooth. Mine is always a little chunky looking. But when you combine it with the dry ingredients and knead it, it smooths out and turns into a regular dough.Lulu the Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992257691123690969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737998905575166794.post-41657138820942712062013-01-21T12:59:13.740-08:002013-01-21T12:59:13.740-08:00You're Welcome, Joy!

I attempted to combine the necessary ingredients in my (I'll admit lame) Magic Bullet blender and ended up with an orangey sludgy mess. After several minutes of frustration I attempted to transfer the mess to my small food processor to see if I could make any more headway there (spilling what was left of the unblended OJ in the process), and had an even worse time there. Now my butter was not rock solid cold, but it was about room temp, maybe a little firmer, and there is no way this would have mixed. I'm incredibly frustrated right now - I hate wasting stuff, but after I've washed a bunch of the dishes dirtied in the process, I'm going to attempt again after softening the butter a LOT first, then I'll attempt to blend. My daughter was so excited to try these cookies I don't have the heart to say that I give up - yet.NikkiG61576https://www.blogger.com/profile/08581600875063363893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737998905575166794.post-65508704487185174372013-01-15T07:49:19.247-08:002013-01-15T07:49:19.247-08:00I was looking for recipes that I could make with s...I was looking for recipes that I could make with sprinkles. These sound divine -- and I actually have OJ right now (I usually don't), so I'll have to make some before it expires.
