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

I was disappointed with these cookies. I found them to be too bland and boring. I won't be making them again.

These cookies are not for the faint of heart. The coffee flavor is very strong. But if you're a coffee lover, you'll probably enjoy them.

I found that the cookies were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

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

I had a little trouble getting the meringue to stiffen. I ended up having to beat it for a few extra minutes. But other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the cookies turned out great.

These cookies are the perfect pick-me-up. The coffee flavor is just enough to give me a boost of energy without being too overpowering.

These cookies are dangerous! They're so delicious that I can't stop eating them. I've already made them twice this week and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon.

I was a bit skeptical about making these cookies because I'm not a huge fan of coffee. But I'm so glad I gave them a try! The coffee flavor is subtle and not at all bitter. The cookies are also incredibly light and airy. I highly recommend them!

I'm not usually a fan of meringue cookies, but these were surprisingly good. The coffee flavor is strong but not overpowering, and the chocolate ganache filling is rich and creamy. I would definitely recommend these cookies to anyone who loves coffee
