Overall, I thought the cookies were good, but not great. I probably won't make them again.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to add extra flour to get it to the right consistency.

These cookies are perfect for any occasion. I've made them for Easter, Christmas, and even just because.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds with chopped pistachios. They were still delicious!
