I don't know what happened I followed the recipe perfectly but they were so crumbly you couldn't shape them in the balls what did I do wrong. I gave it three because it didn't work please let me know what the heck I could have done wrong cuz I bet they're delicious

This recipe turned out fantastic, and was a HUGE hit at Christmas. I was even surprised because the dough turned out pretty crumbly, but once you form them into balls and bake them they’re perfect. Definitely soften up the butter a while to reduce crumbliness, and you don’t need two different racks of the oven you can just use one in the middle and bake for longer. The undersides will be pretty golden and give a nice nutty flavor.
