As this is a controversial subject I cannot just ask it to the majority of the women I know that bake. I make cookies for my father who has cancer and was losing weight at an alarming rate until I suggested pot cookies. I have been using Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix. The recipe calls for only one egg, I have been having a crumbling issue. It's too expensive to trial and error in this situation. Would adding another egg help?

Try adding a teaspoon or two of water, if just sounds like the dough's a bit dry. It would help if we had a recipe though.– GdDCommented Jun 10, 2017 at 7:27

Sometimes I believe nit picking is just that nit picking. If I had said the men I know that bake you wouldn't have nit picked. Relax not every thing that is written is meant to deny anyone who bakes.– L.CCommented Jun 12, 2017 at 23:07

Adding a whole egg would help, but you might start with adding just one egg yolk. The additional fat will address the dryness which leads to the crumbling.
You may also try other fats like butter, cream cheese, or vegetable oil.
If even one egg yolk is 'too much' for your desired outcome, you might try a small amount of half&half.

Adding more eggs will make your cookie soft and not crispy.You can add some butter but I think it will not be suitable for the disease.You add some roasted oats soaked in milk.It will make your cookies crispy and not crumble I have a oats cookies recipe on my website which has butter in it you can look up oats cookies
