I'm not a baker, but these cookies were so easy to make. I'm definitely going to make them again.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much in the oven and they ended up being really thin and crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate and almond crisps were a great combination.
