These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I would cut the butter in half next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I don't think I'll be making these again.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more sugar. I found the cookies to be a little too bland.
