I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really bland. I think I'll try adding more spices next time.

These cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a disaster. They spread out too much and were too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of milk or water to the dough next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut brittle, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips helped to balance out the flavor.
