Dry – “Dry” or “Crumbly” dough is a product of over-mixing or using too much of any ingredient during the mixing process. This can be reversed by adding one to two tablespoons of liquid (water, milk or softened butter) to your mix.
Why is my cookie dough so crumbly?
Usually, the reason behind the crumbled and dry cookie is that you are not using the right kind of fat in the dough. With fats, I mean butter and margarine. If the recipe requires butter and you are using margarine then it can also be the reason for your cookie dough crumble.
What if my dough is too crumbly?
Flick some water over your dough using your fingers and then knead the dough. You should essentially be adding about a teaspoon of water to the dough. Assess the texture and see if the pastry is no longer crumbly. If the pastry is too crumbly still, dip your fingers in the water and spray the dough again.
