i just now made these and i added half a stick more when i made the sample version and it was perfectly balanced. that should solve your dry issue and i baked them for 20 minutes instead so that they baked thru with out drying. i have an electric oven so gas is 18 minutes as long as you do not open the oven door until there done. good luck

I tried this but the dough was excessively dry. Too dry to hold together. How would I fix this?

a little more butter , flours can get drier as kept for some time thus flour needs that bit more moisture from the butter . if the raw uncooked mix doesn't stick together then you have that chance to add a bit more soft butter by hand mix to help with the batch of cookies , yep its 2018 ps can use ground almond meal /ground almonds . good question they should of explained that earlier but perhaps they did not know either .. any recipe has its play with balancing the dry to the wet ~ that where a baker becomes much better.
