Just awesome. Mine flattened perfectly and were tender and soft. I'm at the 6500 ft level, so I did add 2T extra flour. They looked so pretty my husband thought they were store bought! Wonderful flavor. Loved them.

These are delicious cookies. I made them and now my entire apartment smells like Christmas. I took the suggestion of using 1 Tbsp. orange juice rather than the water. I can't keep my roommates away from them! My only comment is that these do spread themselves out a bit, so don't be overenthusiastic about flattening them.

Wonderful! Our new favorite cookie! FYI...they will come out of the oven same thickness you put them in ... so make sure you press them down.

These were SO delicious. They were worth making for the smell that filled the kitchen alone. Thanks so much for submitting it!

I was dissappointed because I expected thick cracked cookies, but got flat cookies. The flavor was delicious, but the appearance was not what I hoped for. I wonder what made them flat? I made two batches and tried to keep the second batch thicker by not flattening them. Still did not work. The recipe does not say to chill dough. Maybe that would have made the difference. I will be trying a different recipe next time.

These are fantastic cookies! I followed the recipes exactly as written except I supstituted crisco butter flavored shortening for the butter and used 1/2 splenda and 1/2 sugar. I used a small cookie scoop to make the cookies uniform size before I rolled in the sugar, and found that they didn't flatten as much while baking. I gently flattened them with the bottom of a clean glass! Will be making these again!

These cookies were frustrating. My dough was just slightly on the crumbly side so I don't know how some cooks got a gooey dough. Plus I only flattened lightly like I would a peanut butter cookie and they didn't spread at all.

Very tasty. I also replaced 1TBSP orange juice for the water. It did seem to enhance the flavors.

Good flavors however, this recipe didn't work out for me. I followed the recipe to the T and they did not rise at all. I don't understand what happened.

Sooo good! I made a double batch and took the idea of using orange juice instead of water! They turned out wonderful!! Even my son eat them and he is very picky, he won't even eat choc. chip cookies but he LOVES these! The only thing I thought was that they needed more sugar stuck to the outside, Just my personal taste. I will make these again and again!!!!

These cookies are fabulous. I've made them twice in the last few weeks and all of my guests have loved them. I use the OJ instead of water, up the ginger to 3 teaspoons, and cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoon. I chill the dough for an hour, and I roll the cookies in a sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger mix before putting them on the baking sheet. Sooo tasty!

Amazing!!! I didn't have OJ t follow other reviewers suggestions, but I didn't want to use water either so I used what I had on hand...Apple Cider. I also used blackstrap molasses and yes do chill the dough before rolling into balls. Theses were amazing!!

I just love these cookies! They have the perfect amount of spice - not too much so they are accessible to everyone. They also stay soft and chewy (with a bit of a crisp on the outside). Mine did not come out looking like they do in the picture, instead they looked more like ginger snaps, but they were still delicious. I will be make these again and again!

Delicious! I had pressed them down rather flat to avoid the gooey middle that others posted. They still spread further and I ened up with a BIG cookie. Next time, may use the medium scoop instead of the big scoop to portion out the dough. I will drizzle with vanilla icing for a pretty presentation. Thank you!

These are the best, simple gingersnaps you can make. They don't try to be too fancy. They're just awesome!! My mom asked me for the recipe, and she is the "cookie master" in my family. I used butter instead of margarine, and it was great. I recommend butter.
