Made the mistake of not looking at the reviews and I had the exact same problem - looked like the beginnings of shortbread rather than drop cookies! Added creamed margerine until it easily clumped together in my hand. Could do with more granola too.

I would have to agree that the idea is nice, but these didn't turn out. It was too dry. My 2 year old son took one bite and said he didn't want anymore.

There's not enough liquid in this recipe. It was just crumbs. I was able to mash together 3 balls (which were as hard as rocks after baking), but I did add 1/2 cup applesauce to the remaining batter and that solved the liquid problem. The cookies were not tasty. I won't make this again.
