These cookies are way too expensive. I can get a better deal at the grocery store.

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

The cookies didn't turn out as I expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of nuts, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The nut flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
