I'm not a huge fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cookies still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as expected. They were a bit too crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor was still good.
