Do you want me to try some and see if I can work it out?
Sometimes they need time to cool to firm up?

Cooling time can help, as Parla. suggested.
Wondering if mix was too moist? New recipe?

Re: Cookies too chewy/ fall-apart-y
Whenever that has happened to me, it's generally not enough flour or too much sugar. Is it a new recipe or a fluke?

Re: Cookies too chewy/ fall-apart-y
Cooling time definitely but if they are still crumbly, you may have added too much flour or not enough butter. Were they a bit overdone? Just a few minutes too long in the oven can cause crumbly bikkies too.
Re: Cookies too chewy/ fall-apart-y
So I've worked out I need to leave them to cool on the tray, and that I need to use a metal tray not ceramic (I assume because the metal has a lower specific heat so gets hotter)
Re: Cookies too chewy/ fall-apart-y
Definitely use metal, ceramic absorbs the heat and they won't cook properly on the bottom. Same with pastry
And yes leave on the tray until they are firm, don't need to be cold, but do need to be firm.
