These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I think I might have used too much flour.

These cookies were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, but these cookies were still really good. The cranberries give them a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.
