I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cookies spread out too much in the oven. They still tasted good, but they didn't look as nice as I'd hoped.

I love the flavor of these cookies, but they were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more flour next time.
