  3. I am having trouble getting the dough to come together. I've added more coconut oil and peanut butter. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

  7. I too am having issues with the dough coming together. I added more coconut oil. Should I add more almond butter? I hate to waste all of the ingredients but right now it is flaky and not coming together as a dough. I have been using my hands to mix it as well.

    1. Maybe add more almond butter? Sorry you are having issues. :( The dough will seem a little loose as you form the cookies, but it hardens right up after it is placed in the freezer

  11. The ingredients did not want to come together like dough. After looking at the comments and seeing others had the same experience, I felt better knowing it wasn't just me. Tried mixing by hand, but no go. Added more almond butter (same amount called for again) and finally got something that would hold together in a ball, but not enough to make a thumbprint. Stuck them right in the oven for 8 mins. They do taste good, so yay.
