Tasted great. Came out exactly like the others were saying. I used butter (I never use margarine) and brown sugar instead of white (didn't have any at home!!!!), but otherwise followed recipe as written. I assume those who didn't like these are looking for a different blend of the spices. We thought they were great!!!!!!

DEEELICIOUS! I followed some of the reccommendations, used 1/2 butter, 1/2 crisco, and 1/2 white sugar, 1/2 brown sugar. My husband is eating them as fast as they come out of the oven!

:) That's all I can say about this recipe. It's a must try! I couldn't believe how chewy and delicious they were. And it's the day after today and guess what? Still soft and chewy! I did not use orange juice, as I had none on hand, but really I don't see how the cookies could get any better! The recipe made about 3 1/2 dozen for me, and yes, rolling the cookies in sugar before manually rolling them really helps. My aunt and mother both ate (combined) about 10-13 cookies in one sitting! I will DEFINITELY be making these again soon.

These are very good but I made the mistake of flattening them and they spread out really thin! When I left them as balls then they looked a lot better. I will try the OJ next time. All in all its a good cookie.

These are a good basic cookie, and they stay soft, however they taste more of cloves than of ginger. I did use the other reviewers suggestions to reduce the sugar and not roll it in sugar (definitely needed! I used 3/4 cup and would reduce it further if I was going to frost these) and to use orange juice instead of water. My spices are new, and yet with all that it still came out horribly bland. Will not be making again without some major adjustments.

I used 1 stick of baking margarine, 3/4 cup of sugar and I omitted the water. They were really good! I also mixed the white sugar with some flour before I rolled the dough in it. Will make these again :)

all i can say is wow! I have never made ginger cookies before and honestly would rather have chocolate, but this recipie turned me. This cookies are soft, spicy, and wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly except i found a recipe on vanilla glaze on this site and drizzled that on top so they would look like the picture. They are amazing! I plan on making these for xmas gifts this year!

Way too soft! Not sure what went wrong because I followed the recipe EXACTLY. Note to self: try again. Maybe it was a fluke thing?

These cookies had such rave reviews that I just had to try them. Ginger/spice cookies are my favorite. I was very disappointed in them. They were very bland.

These were not very big but they were very delicious. I made them vegan for a friend...replaced the egg with 1 tablespoon ground flax seed + 1/4 cup warm water. Then I added about a 1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger. I also took the other reviewer's suggestion and replaced the water with OJ. Delicious!!

These cookies weren't for me. The clove was so overpowering that I ended up throwing them away after they baked. The smell alone while I was mixing the batter was too much to handle.
