These cookies are delicious, but they are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would cut the sugar in half next time.

I've tried these cookies several times and I can't seem to get them to turn out. The dough is always too sticky.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of Brazil nuts. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The cookies are delicious and the Brazil nuts add a nice nutty flavor.
