A crumbly dough is good! I remember the first time I attempted
shortbread, it thought I messed it up (the dough was crumbly). That
weekend, I went over to a friend's house to help her cook. She was
making shortbread... don't think I felt pretty dumb when I saw her
shortbread dough.... CRUMBLY! I had made it right and didn't know it!!

I can pack them into a baking plate, but before I do I wanted to ask, Have I done something wrong here? Do I need more liquid/fat? Or should I just bake my packed-down crumbs and figure once the butter melts it'll be fine?
