I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really dry. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These cookies were perfect! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I loved the flavor of the frosting too.

These cookies were a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

I was disappointed with these cookies. The dough was too dry and the cookies were too crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of cutout cookies, but these were actually really good! The dough was soft and chewy, and the frosting was the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
