I'm not a big fan of sugar cookies, but these were actually really good. They're not too sweet and the frosting is perfect.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

These weren't as tasty as I had hoped. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next year.
