I'm not sure why this recipe is so popular. The cookies are just bland and boring.

The dough for these cookies is way too sticky. I had to add a lot of extra flour to get it to work.

These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I had to cut the sugar in half to make them edible.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the cookies to turn out right. They're always too dry or too crumbly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
