I just tried to make these for Thanksgiving tomorrow and I'm going to throw the dough out. It turned out WAY too dry, so dry that I couldn't save it by adding oil - I got a greasy mess that's still crumbling. I would NOT mix all these ingredients together. I would make it like any cookie dough; butter and sugar then egg and the rest wet then add HALF the flour and GRADUALLY add the remaining flour will you have a workable dough. I still want these cookies but I will try the Woman's Day version of the recipe in the morning and I'm going to make them into the cute logs besides. I'm so sorry to hear that this didn't work out for you. I've made this recipe for literally 20 years as a "dump" cookie and I've not run into the problem of crumbling, so I'm quite puzzled. If you'd like to troubleshoot what may have happened, please don't hesitate to give the hotline a call. ~ MaryJane
