These cookies are a waste of time and ingredients. They're dry and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as yours. Maybe I did something wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're buttery, crumbly, and the maple flavor is perfectly balanced with the walnuts. I'll definitely be making these again.
