These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too crumbly for my taste.

The cookies didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I overmixed the batter.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I added some dried cranberries to the batter and they turned out great. I think I'll add some chopped walnuts next time.
