These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly and the flavor was bland.

I've tried many different chocolate gingersnap recipes and this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy with a perfect balance of chocolate and ginger.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what went wrong.
