I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out at all. They were flat and hard.

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

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I might try adding a little more butter next time.

I've been making these cookies for years and they're always a hit. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These cookies were a bit too soft for my liking, but they still had a good flavor. I might try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

These cookies are so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, but I tried these and they were actually really good! The dough is soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips add a nice bit of sweetness.
