The only alterations I made to these were using 1/3 cup Brown Sugar with 2/3 White Sugar and 1/4 cup Butter with 1/2 cup Margarine and placed the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes (I made these alterations by preference and reviews). When shaping the dough I flattened them a bit before 'flipping' them in sugar so they would be wide and they turned out fabulous! There's no airtight jar needed! They might feel hard outside when a day old (if they last that long) but they melt in your mouth!! Some might say they are too sweet but the sugar is a great contrast to the mild yet flavorful spices.

I used half the amount of butter called for (used butter, not margarine) and I added a dash of vanilla to balance the spice from the cloves. They were great. I have never seen my husband eat cookies like these. I also added a bit more ginger, as I love ginger. They are great and super easy to make.

Oh my! These cookies are ridiculous!!! They are so good we can't stop eating them! The only change I made was (as previous reviewers suggested) to sub orange juice for the water. I also drizzled the cooled cookies with a simple orange glaze (powdered sugar mixed with OJ until desired consistency). Delicious!!!

Absolutely delicious!! I used the suggestions of half white half brown sugar and OJ instead of water. I also added in the zest of the orange I used for the juice. They are perfectly spiced.

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!!!!!!

:) 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!

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.
