I have made these cookies several times and although they are delicious, each time I have had to add additional yogurt so that the dry ingredients can be incorporated and made into a workable dough. Is it possible that one of the wet ingredients has been omitted or that the quantity is incorrect? I thought I had made a mistake the first time but after making these on subsequent occasions the results are always the same.
