Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

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

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
