These cookies are a bit too crunchy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I made these cookies with almond brittle instead. They were still really good!

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
