These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky to work with and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. They also didn't taste very good. I would not recommend this recipe.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies turned out beautifully. I think I would try using less sugar next time.

These cookies were delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The dough was soft and chewy, the filling was tart and tangy, and the glaze added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these cookies for my family and they were a hit! The dough was easy to work with and the cookies turned out beautifully. The cranberry filling was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I will definitely be making these again.
