These cookies were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out at all. They were flat and hard.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being a bit thick, but they still tasted good.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, chewy texture.

I've been baking for years, and these are some of the best sugar cookies I've ever made. They're soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness.
