I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again soon, and I'll be sure to follow the recipe more carefully this time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were actually really good. They were soft and fluffy, and they had a nice flavor.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
