it could be a few things. 1 your oven was set too high 2 they were baked to long 3 not enough fat included in the recipe either butter, peanut butter, or oil, or 4 you could have worked the dough a ittle too much, some cookie batters react like bread doughs and too uch gluten can develop in them making them tough, dry and crumbly.
