These cookies were a waste of time and ingredients. They were hard as rocks and completely inedible. I'm never making them again.

These cookies are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong with these cookies. They turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. They were too dry and crumbly. I think I overbaked them.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but these were actually really good. They're soft and chewy with just the right amount of sweetness.
