I love that these cookie bites are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a healthier choice than traditional cookies.

These cookie bites were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

The texture of these cookie bites is a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more flour next time.

These cookie bites are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
