These cookies were a disappointment. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out dry and crumbly.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might add an extra egg yolk next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a lot in the oven.

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

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The spices really balanced out the pumpkin flavor.
