Surprise, it is very good with just 3 additions. When sauteing onions I added one crushed clove of garlic (and the garlic powder too).At the end it needs a bit of salt and a splash of worstechire (sp?). Looks like dog food, but with some bright veggies on the plate its not too bad.

My husband's comment was "Not the worst cookie I've ever had, but close. And they are so dry - are they diet cookies?" I followed the recipe exactly, except for doubling the spices and the cookies went together and baked just fine, looked good with nice texture. But no flavor, even with double the spices. Afterwards I wondered if the fact that there was no salt and no vanilla might have added to the nothingness of them.

They were just okay. Really, nothing exciting. Boring. Very soft and doughy, not "chewy". Even though I baked them for a lot longer than the recipe stated and watched them carefully they still seemed to have no crunch at all, even around the edges, and too soft in the middle. Flavor is not great either, although I did take other reviewers suggestions to heart and added brown sugar with the white, vanilla, and doubled the cinnamon. I also added about 1/8 tsp. of allspice and 1/2 tsp. of ginger. Still didn't have much taste. BUT, I got beautiful looking cookies by measuring with a small ice cream scoop, rolling into balls and then rolling in coarse sugar. Looked great, but blah and ho hum. Won't make again.
