Thank you for participating in the Best Recipe of the Week competition. You have a very interesting recipe and beautiful photography. The only thing it lacks is brightness. The cookies turned out dull. You can correct the situation in a photo processing program by increasing brightness, contrast, richness and saturation. Then your background will remain the same dark (even darker), and the cookies will have a beautiful golden color. You will get a beautiful contrast of gold and black. The article in the "Photo Processing" section has a detailed guide on how and what to do: How to photograph food. Food photography for beginners. After my processing, your photo looks like this:
