These cookies were a bit dry, but they still tasted good. I think I might have overbaked them. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll be careful not to overbake them next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They said they were the best cookies they've ever had. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.
