Help...my shortbread is too crumbly!

I am making cut out shortbread cookies using a heart shaped cookie cutter, but the dough won't stick together! I made the dough last night and it has been chilling in the fridge over night. How can I make the cookies stick together with out really loosing that shortbread texture?

 

Thank you!

sounds like there isnt enough butter/ too much flour in the recipe. Try bringing some of the dough to room temperature and incorporating some softened butter to get the right consistancy
