but did your oven go wonky on you? so of course you are baking long enough -- maybe the oven temp is off -- gotta thermometer in there?

When a tested/true recipe fails, one must check in your mind what you could have missed.  Are you *sure!* you measured right, added *every* ingredient, etc.   Many times it is our failure to do one or more of those things.   And as K8 said, check your oven.

Yes oven temp is good. I did  have a lot of humidity in the air. In fact it had ruined the fondant on a cake and I had to redo it.  Would that have caused the cookies to become so soft that they broke apart?

Absolutely.  Sugar is hygroscopic--it attracts water--so left out, things with high sugar contents like fondant and these cookies will go soft quickly.
