Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like thick sugar cookies.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I've tried many sugar cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the frosting is creamy and smooth.
