This recipe has been in my family for years. The recipe used to contain black pepper, but we found it spicy enough without it.

These cookies were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dense and flavorless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I found that the cookies were a little dry. I think I'll add an extra egg next time.

I added a little bit of chocolate chips to my cookies and they were amazing! I highly recommend trying this variation.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional cookies.

I'm not usually a fan of pepper in cookies, but these were surprisingly good. The pepper flavor is subtle and really adds a nice depth of flavor.
