I think there should be more butter and or eggs in the directions. 1/2 cup butter and 1 egg was simply not enough. I would have added more butter, but I did not have any more, so I added another egg and tablespoon of oil. That seemed to do the trick; I was able to incorporate the rest of the cookie mix. IMHO, these cookies were ok, but they wouldn't be a “go to” recipe for me.
