Really enjoyed these. They are thin and crunchy sugar cookie type cookies. I used all brown sugar since brown sugar is essentially white sugar covered in molasses--it's already a mix of the two--and used whole wheat pastry flour which has less gluten. I think it could also be a base for other delicious cookies!

These are delicious! I find that cookie tastes are subjective and what is the "ultimate gingerbread cookie" varies from person to person. I like to know there are spices in my gingerbread and dislike overly sweet cookies. These are well spiced and with a nice solid texture. They definitely have a warm, cozy old fashioned feel about them. They also smell wonderful.

In the past I've had problems getting my blackberry pies to thicken. I think it is because I use fresh berries, not frozen and they have more juice in them. This recipie take care of that nicely. The only problem is the large amount of spices mask the berry flavor. I plan to make it with just a little bit of lemon juice/zest.
