These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably cut back on the sugar next time I make them.

These cookies were a little bland for my taste. I think I might try adding some chocolate chips or nuts next time.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I might try adding a little bit of egg next time to see if that helps.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them just right.
