These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

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 followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

I was a little disappointed with these cookies. They were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add some more butter next time.
