I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit time-consuming to make. I think I'll save them for special occasions.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The peppermint flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the shortbread.

I was skeptical about the peppermint flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not too overpowering and it pairs perfectly with the shortbread.
