These cookies were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some spices next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of walnuts and pecans, and they added a nice crunch to the cookies.

These cookies were good, but not great. The dough was a little too dry and the cookies were a little too crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
