I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

I'm not a big fan of oats, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate chips and peanut butter chips balance out the oat flavor perfectly.

I love how easy these cookies are to make. I didn't have any oats on hand, so I used quick-cooking rolled oats instead. They turned out great!
