These cookies were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were really good. The dough was soft and chewy, and the frosting was sweet and creamy.

I had a lot of trouble getting the dough to come together. I ended up adding more flour and it still wasn't quite right. The cookies turned out okay, but they weren't as good as I hoped.
