Can I save this batch of cookie dough?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
New here (and a new baker overall, as well) with what is likely a stupid question. I made up a batch of cookie dough to bake some cookies for a friend as a thank you, and thought I'd better cook a few up for myself to make sure it turned out.

Well, the cookies taste fine, but I think I may have mismeasured the flour as they are a bit dry and crumbly. Since most of the dough is still sitting in the fridge, is there anything I can add to it to make the cookies more moist since the taste and everything else turned out fine? I've pasted the recipe below - any help or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips

I have had this same problem with pb cookies. I found that I was really just cooking them too long, as pb cookies tend to be crumbly anyway. You probably have dumped the batter since your post was awhile ago, but next time try not baking so long.
