These cookies are a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I substituted almond butter in this recipe. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
