These cookies are a great way to use up leftover crescent roll dough. They're also a lot cheaper than buying pre-made cookies.

I'm not a huge fan of crescent roll dough, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The chocolate chips really make them.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. I love the way the chocolate chips melt in my mouth.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can't seem to get it right. The cookies always turn out too dry.

I made these cookies for a bake sale and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them and they were all gone in no time.

These cookies were a complete disaster! The dough was too sticky to work with and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. They ended up being more like flat pancakes than cookies.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also a little greasy, but that's to be expected with crescent roll dough.
