These cookies are delicious, but they're very delicate. Be careful not to overmix the dough or the cookies will be tough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as expected. They were too soft and didn't hold their shape.
