These cookies are a waste of time and ingredients. They're bland and tasteless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and hard. Maybe I overmixed the dough?

These cookies are a bit dry, but they're still enjoyable with a glass of milk.

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

I'm not a big fan of molasses, but these cookies were surprisingly delicious. The ginger really balances out the sweetness.
