These cookies are a great base recipe. I've had fun experimenting with different mix-ins and flavors. My favorite is adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and a half cup of raisins.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the sugar by half next time.

I'm not a big fan of graham crackers, but I loved these cookies. They're so flavorful and the chocolate chips really make them special.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover graham cracker crumbs. I always have a box in my pantry and it's so nice to be able to put them to use.
