The cookies turned out a bit dry, but they still had a good flavor. I think I might try adding a little bit of butter or oil next time.

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

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate and peanut butter flavors balance each other out perfectly.
