Then, the orange slices get hot in the processor and really stick together. I am telling you this from experience! You do not want to go that route! Then, be warned, a blender set on grate (sounds like a good idea, right?) will not work! So, just get your kitchen scissors or a good knife, and stop chopping or cutting. What finally worked for me was patience mixed flour. I placed my orange slices on my cutting board, sprinkled them with flour, and then chopped! It worked. The flour I used to sprinkle my orange slices was part of the flour needed for the cookie mix. Only used a little - it didn't take much.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_205\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"205\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/orange-slice-cookies\/oc-011\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"oc-011\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Cookies ready to go in the oven!&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"oc-011\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-011.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-205\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cookies ready to go in the oven!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Using a tablespoon, I placed the dough on the cookie sheet, then baked in a 350 degree until slightly brown on the edges. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_206\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"206\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/orange-slice-cookies\/oc-020-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"oc-020\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Out of the oven and ready to eat!&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-206\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"oc-020\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/oc-0201.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-206\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Out of the oven and ready to eat!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Out of the oven, and ready to eat!

I love to write, sew, quilt, craft, cook, paint, and always looking for new ideas to make or share. I love to use my camera to capture life and tell a story through pictures. I have a web and graphic design business that keeps me busy, but I love my work and enjoy interacting with my clients as together we see their vision become a reality. More than anything, my greatest passion is serving God in a way that others see Him through me. I don't always do everything just right, but each day I get up, I turn that day over to God, asking Him to help me try to get it right one more time.","url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/author\/sandi\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2850,"url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/cranberry-orange-relish\/","url_meta":{"origin":198,"position":0},"title":"Cranberry Orange Relish","author":"Sandi Herron.
