I have been making these cookies for over 40 years. Chill the dough for at least an hour - I usually chill the dough overnight- this makes it easier to handle, I also use a small cookie scoop and that makes things go smoothly and quickly. Thanks for the post.

OUTSTANDING! If you are looking for an old-fashioned molasses cookie-here it is. I will make these again and again. The flavor is outstanding, easy to make and bake. I cannot give enough praise to this recipe.

Great flavor, but WARNING to all considering this for a holiday treat: they only last about a week before going stale, so don't over-look them if you have lots of sweets around. If you need to, the dough freezes very nicely.

Wonderful ginger cookies! The friend I made these for ate the entire 2 dozen cookies in under 3 hours. I think they were a tad bit dry for my taste, but that may have been a mistake on my part. I would definitely make these again.

My family couldn't get enough of them. I've been asked by my nephews to send them more in a care package at their schools. I liked putting red and green sugar on top for the Christmas season.

The cookies were a hit during our Christmas cookie exchange! A friend asked about the recipe :). I made my second batch for a dinner party with whole wheat flour but it did come out as good as the first one. But our dinner guests still LOVE them! Definitely make it many times in 2013!

These are delicious and perfect for the holidays. They are soft and chewy. Instead of rolling them in balls, I used a cookie scoop and dropped them into a bowl of sugar and rolled them around to coat them. It was less messy this way.

One of my favories now even though I'm not a gingerbread fan. I tried the recipe on a whim and am hooked! The best thing is that if you take them somewhere, they don't attract a lot of attention and you get to take them back home for yourself!

delicious! easy and true to their title.....SOFT!!! they keep SOFT for days....this was helpful to me since I made a huge batch of these cookies a couple of hours before hurricane Sandy claimed my power. I didn't have molasses on hand so I substituted maple syrup and it didn't deter the taste one bit. thank you for a great recipe. highly recommended.
