These cookies were a disaster! They were burnt and crumbly.

Overall, these cookies are a good basic recipe. With a few tweaks, I think I can make them even better.

The cookies spread out too much in the oven. I think I'll try chilling the dough for a bit before baking next time.

I found the dough to be a bit too dry. I had to add an extra tablespoon of butter to get it to come together.

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

These cookies freeze really well, so I often make a double batch and freeze half for later.
