How can I save wet cookie dough
I accidentally added 2/3 cup milk instead of 1/3 to a cookie dough. Now dough is too moist. What can I add to absorb the moisture?
Best Answer
You could go ahead and add each of the other ingredients (other than the milk) again, doubling the recipe.
If you really want to get fussy, you probably should follow the recipe instructions regarding "creaming butter and sugars"...etc. with that second round of ingredients, but honeslty cookies aren't that particular about technique, so I would just dump them in and mix-em up. Your result should be quite reasonable.

What do you do if your cookie dough is too wet?
If your cookie dough is indeed too runny, try adding a tablespoon of flour at a time and mixing until fully incorporated after each addition. Give the flour some time to soak up the moisture, do not rush. Stop adding as soon as the dough reaches your desired consistency.How do you make wet cookie dough dry?
Solution: Add butter or shortening/brush with oil Whatever fat you choose to add, I recommend using it at room temperature. Cold butter and shortening would be too firm and will take time before they start melting into your dough. You might end up with pockets of plain fat which would not be fun to bite into.Dough Too Wet - Now What?

You have several options:
- The simplest solution: add flour (and a bit of sugar).
- The true-to-the-recipe solution: double the rest of the ingredients.
- The "I am out of flour and sugar" solution: spread the mix out in the oven (at a low temperature) and dry it, mixing it up regularly to even out the temperature.
