What to Do When Cookie Dough Is Too Wet

When cookie dough is too wet, your cookies may come out too thin and crispy, too dense, or just plain bad. However, this problem is easily fixed if you know how. To fix a cookie dough that’s too wet, add in some more flour one tablespoon at a time. This should help absorb any extra moisture lingering in your dough. Repeat this until your dough is the correct consistency. Don’t add more than one tablespoon at a time, though: It is possible to over-correct your mistake and end up with a dough that’s too dry and crumbly.
