These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These cookies were the perfect holiday treat! They were soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of spice. The caramel was rich and creamy, and the crunch from the nuts added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again next year!

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

The caramel was a little too runny for my liking, but the cookies were still delicious. I think I'll try making them again with a different caramel recipe.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use half the amount of ginger.
