These cookies are not worth the effort. They're bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are so good! They're soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. I love the giant size, too - they're perfect for sharing (or not sharing, if you're feeling greedy).
