Mediocre cookie night

I made some cookies tonight and they were okay. They weren't bad, but they definitely weren't delicious. And it sucks because the recipe sounded SO GOOD:

Coconut, dark chocolate chips, toasted pecans, vanilla, almond extract. Sounds kind of like the perfect cookie to me. And they smelled good. So good. And then... meh.

Fré likes them a lot -  does that mean that the cookies are actually good, or that he just likes all cookies?
