So I made these and one seemed a little dry. They also didn't seem to hold together as well as your did. I also did them in the balls but mine didn't flatten out. I don't know what I did wrong :/

Hi Rachael! Sorry your cookies turned out a little dry - sounds like there was too much flour added. If you don't use kitchen scales, I definitely recommend them over cups, but if you do, try using a little less flour next time or add a bit of milk until the dough comes together more. Also, make sure not to overbake these cookies. Try flattening them down before baking, too - that should help :)
