These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe that produces a more sturdy cookie.

These cookies are very rich, so a little goes a long way. I usually cut them into small pieces so I can enjoy them without feeling too guilty.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds in this recipe with chopped walnuts. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are very easy to make, but they're also very delicate. I had a few cookies break when I was transferring them to the cooling rack.

I had a hard time finding cardamom and ginger at my local grocery store. I ended up using a pre-made chai spice mix instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
