That’s the way the cookie crumbles, and crumbles, and crumbles…

What am I doing wrong!?!?
This is the second batch of cookies I’ve attempted in the past couple of days that has turned out spectacularly awful. The first time I used Alton Brown’s “Chewy” recipe, and they came out totally powdery, with a dry, cake-like crumb. This time I used the Tollhouse recipe (which is basically like AB’s recipe only with softened butter rather than melted) and added a little bit of milk, and subtracted some egg white because I am trying to get a nice flat chewy cookie.
They’re like freaking pecan sandies or something. Ugh. What the hell? Even my kids are asking what’s wrong with them.
This sucks.
