At this point you need to stop blending and start to stir and use your hands to work in the remaining flour to form a soft dough. 5. Using a 1/4 cup measurer, scoop out portions of dough and roll in sugar. Place on baking sheets (at least 2” apart) and press down until about 1/2” thick. Wet tops of dough with water. 6.
