These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter or oil next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have needed to grease the baking sheet more.

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