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

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being a bit too thick.
