I am sorry to hear that some people received crumbs instead of cookies.  That's a shame.  If they had received whole cookies they would have been leaving great reviews like I am.  These are rich and delicious.  I have a family cookie recipe we call "Almond Crescents".  They look different, but they taste almost exactly like these wonderful cookiers even though we usually use finely chopped almonds when we make then.  These have chunks of pecans in them.  They really do melt in your mouth if you let them last that long.  Very buttery tasting.  They are crumbly, but if you are careful you will get every bite and not make a mess.
