I'm not sure why, but my cookies didn't spread out at all. They just stayed in little balls.

These cookies are way too sweet for me. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. Maybe I didn't chill the dough long enough?
