I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were still edible, but they weren't very pretty.

These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar plums, but these cookies were actually really good! The cookie itself is soft and chewy, and the sugar plum flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
