These cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the cookies didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cookies were a hit! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter and they were perfect for Valentine's Day.
