OMG, these are amazing!
I just made these today, leaving out the nuts and using the chocolate/caramel chips (trying to use the bags that I have lol). I really like them, just not with those chips. Doh!
Hi Anna!
First of all, I LOVE your website. What an inspiration to amateur and professional bakers alike!
Secondly, I made these cookies today and they tasted amazing! The only problem I had was they were a bit on the crumbly side. I’m sure it was something I did and not your recipe. Do you know what I could’ve done wrong?
Thank you and Best Wishes!

Hi Bianca,
Sometimes this has to do with the type of flour you use — bleached vs. unbleached. They vary in protein levels and acidity and their ability to absorb liquid is a little different. When I made these cookies, I didn’t note the type of flour I used, but I generally use “unbleached”. Do you think you might have used “bleached”? At any rate, it’s not a problem. Next time the dough seems too crumbly, add a few teaspoons of water or enough to make it more cohesive.
