These cookies were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still really good, though.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips definitely helped to balance out the flavor.

I was so excited to try these cookies, but they turned out to be a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.
