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

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the walnuts. They turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but these are actually really good! They're soft and chewy, and the brown butter icing is delicious.

These cookies are a bit dry, but I think that's because I overbaked them. I'll definitely try them again and bake them for less time.
