Question

Katzen · Accepted Answer

I'd suggest adding more flour, until the dough is at the right consistency. Of course, the other option is to increase the recipe to the quantity of other ingredients that corresponds to the amount of oil you added - so if the recipe asked for 1/2 cup of oil, and you added 1 cup, double it. You can always roll the dough into a long roll, and defrost and slice the dough next time you want cookies!

I did the same thing except for 1/2 cup I put in 1 cup.  The batter ran all over. I am going to double the recipe and of course, leave out the oil!

Beverly · Answer

Ridiculous answer.  The batter ran all over the cookie sheet. I'm going to add more flour and hope for the best!  LOL

I accidentally added 2/3 cup oil when it called for 1/3 cup. The only thing I could do to save my cookies which had turned into one thin sheet of cookie, was use a cookie cutter to remove enough pieces that it was edible.

Nothing. Just bake them. Eat. Bake another batch
