The cookies were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cookies were a little too soft for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for more time next time.

I made these cookies for my kids' school bake sale, and they were a huge hit! They sold out in minutes. I'll definitely be making them again for the next bake sale.
