These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get the dough right. It's always too sticky or too dry.

These cookies are delicious! I made them for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but these cookies are an exception. They're light and fluffy with just the right amount of orange flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
