The cookies were a bit bland. I think I'll add some chocolate chips next time.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

My cookies turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor was still good.

These squash cookies were a hit with my family! They were soft, moist, and had a delicious hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.
