Thanks Lisa. I think the problem was #2 with a little of #1. The butter was not cold, but was not very soft either. On #4, I could not push them back together to re-form a circle, but the "scraps" were delicious anyway! I used walnuts and will try them with almonds next time. Thanks again!

Hi Jen,

Hhhmmmm..... Here are a few things I can think of:
1) make sure your butter is very soft when you're first mixing the cookies - so that the batter is very well mixed.
2) when you form it into a log - squeeze it very tight. Make sure the log is very firm - really pack it together like you're molding clay. This is *probably* where you went wrong?
3) be sure the dough is almost hard when you start cutting it. The harder/colder it is, the easier it will be to cut straight through without crushing/mis-shaping or crumbling the cookies as you cut.
4) if they crumble as you cut them - could you mush them back together in a round shape?

I really can't think of anything else since this has never happened to me. But maybe try incorporating these and see how it goes?

Here is another egg-less cookie recipe. It's almost the exact same cookie except with the small differences, they do taste quite different:

Hi Lisa, Thanks for a cookie recipe without eggs - my son is allergic and I've had a hard time finding non-egg baked goods. Anyway, I made these today and they were delicious. But out of 1 log, I only got 5 round-shaped cookies. The others crumbled (in half or more) when I cut them. :( What did I do wrong?

Oh, I'm making these for sure!! Beautiful phot...
