Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. They're easy to make and they taste good, but they're not my favorite.

These cookies are a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, airier cookie.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
