Way too dry. I knew from the dough consistency and refrigerated dough after attempting to see if baking a few proved them to be ok. They are not. More like granola. Might try adding more butter or coconut oil to get to a dough consistency. Fingers crossed.

Delicious! They are fragile but I underbaked them just a bit and let them cool completely before removing them from the pan. This helped them stay whole.

Why are my cookies so crumbly? They just fell apart. I don't think I deviated from the recipe. I am baking at normal altitude.

These cookies are sublime and more addictive than I like. Shortbread, toasty nuts, browned butter Deliciousness. I added milk chocolate chips after first batch and chilled the dough for about an hour. This was a winner for us. We like them frozen. Yummy!!!!

Sad to say these were so dry. Flavors were good but consistency was chalky and they fell apart. Maybe I cooked too long (15 min) but they were only just golden at that point.

These are lovely - I made them exactly as described. They have a rich, almost sandy texture when warm from the oven and more depth of favour compared to my usual recipe.

Hi. I made these tonight, and was wondering what kind of consistency they are supposed to be. chewy? soft?

My dough was extremely crumbly. I'm not sure where I went wrong as I followed the steps perfectly. I wonder though if you're suppose to refrigerate the dough before cooking it.

nice, deep flavor with the browned butter.

For step 5 I think you need to change the last sentence to 'add to the wet ingredients' .I am making these today!

What is brown butter and where can I find it?

You make it from regular butter. Google a recipe for it. It's not hard to make.

Suzanne, brown butter is simply butter that has been cooked until fragrant and brown in color. If you read through the recipe instructions step-by-step, you'll see that the recipe shows you exactly how to do it! Enjoy!

I misread the ingredients! I mixed up brown sugar and unsalted butter - doh!
