These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit rich for me. I think I'll try making them with half the amount of butter next time.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't chill the dough long enough. I'll definitely try them again and make sure to chill the dough for the full 30 minutes.

I'm not a fan of chocolate and raspberry together, but I decided to try these cookies anyway. I'm so glad I did! The flavors are perfectly balanced and the cookies are so delicious.

These cookies are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape, but I think that was because I didn't chill the dough long enough. Once I chilled it for the full 30 minutes, the cookies turned out great.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good and I would definitely make them again.

I've tried many thumbprint cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are always perfect and the filling is so creamy and delicious.
