These cookies were a disaster. The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out evenly. The cookies were also a bit too brown around the edges.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of cut-out cookies, but these were really good. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies baked evenly.

These cookies are delicious! The dough is soft and chewy, and the frosting is sweet and creamy.
