These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were very easy to make and the dough was very easy to work with. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out perfectly. They're the perfect balance of chewy and crispy, and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can customize them with different sprinkles or frosting depending on the occasion.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! I made them for a Christmas party and they were a huge hit. They were so easy to make and the dough was very forgiving. I will definitely be making these again!
