Hi
it actually says “1 to 1 1/2” but to avoid confusion we have corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out!
How many cookies does this make?
It makes approximately 50 cookies
I have made these twice, and both times the batter doesn’t come together before adding the berries and nuts. I have had to add more orange juice to bring them to cookie batter consistency. Anyone else complaining about that?
I have corrected the recipe to say 2 1/2 cups of flour. That is the right amount. Thanks for pointing that out!
