I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out like the pictures. They were flat and didn't have any rise.

I don't recommend this recipe. The cookies were bland and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out right. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
