YUM! These cookies look so delicious and perfect for Christmas!
what happens if i don’t refrigerate the dough for 2 hours?
Hi Ani.
It is much easier to work with the dough if you refrigerate it for 2 hours.
Thank you for sharing.I made cookies but they spread much more than yours and you could feel quite greasy. What was wrong? Would you please help me to try again. My measurements was right and my oven is trustable.
How far in advance can you make the dough?
Hi,
Is there something missing in the ingredients, I can’t work my dough it need milk or water.
Thx.
Did you use the orange juice, and egg, and butter to room temperature? What type of flour did u use?
Hi,
My bad, I used half of the orange juice that’s why. Thx
Hola… Esta receta es excelente.. Pero podría hacer las cranberry bliss cookies por favor?!?
Is there a way to double or triple the recipe without compromising the taste or structure of the cookies? I make them every Christmas but with more and more demand I find myself wondering how to multiply the recipe without altering any of the taste, cookie structure, etc.
You can simply double or triple the recipe using a larger bowl. There shouldn’t be any worries about compromising the cookies’ taste or structure as long as you double/triple all the ingredients. If you are afraid of over-mixing the dough, you can also consider preparing the dough one batch at a time.
