Fix Dry Cookie Dough
Dry cookie dough is hard to work with and produces brittle cookies. If your cookie dough is too dry, this simple solution helps moisten your dough allowing you to create soft and supple cookies.
Steps
- Place your dough on a piece of baking paper.
- Pour over a teaspoon of cooking oil.
- Knead and pull the dough together incorporating as much of the oil as possible.
- Add more oil if necessary.
- Continue to knead until smooth, soft and bouncy.
- Wrap up in the baking paper and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove your dough from the refrigerator. It will be perfect to work with.
Warnings
- Do NOT add water. Water will make your dough sticky, gloopy and heavy. It will not rise in the oven and will not taste good!
