These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate to coat the cookies evenly, but they still tasted great. I'll definitely try making them again.

I'm not a huge fan of macadamia nuts, but these cookies were still really good. The shortbread is so buttery and the chocolate coating is perfect.

These cookies were so delicious and easy to make! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet, and they turned out perfectly. My family loved them.
