If you’re struggling with dry, crumbly shortbread dough, don’t despair! Celebrity chef Ina Garten has a simple solution: add a teaspoon or two of water until the dough becomes easier to work with. The extra moisture helps hydrate the flour and bring the dough together, resulting in a smooth consistency. You can also use milk, vanilla extract, or eggs to add liquid to the dough, but be mindful of how these ingredients might affect the flavor.
