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

These cookies are really dry. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a little too sweet for me. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar I add.

The first time I made these cookies, I overcooked them a bit. But the second time, I followed the recipe more carefully and they turned out perfect. I think they're best when they're slightly chewy in the center.
