These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think they needed more butter or oil. The flavor was good, but the texture was just a bit off.

I've never been a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, but these ones changed my mind. They were so soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips were perfectly melted. I could eat a whole batch of these in one sitting!

These cookies were a bit bland for my taste. I think they needed more salt or vanilla extract. The texture was good, but the flavor was just lacking.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were really easy to make and turned out beautifully. I might try reducing the sugar next time.
