I wasn't a big fan of these cookies. They were a bit too bland for me.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

These cookies were a hit! They're so soft and chewy, with a delicious nutty flavor. I used white whole wheat flour, and they turned out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
