These are a great holiday treat. But you don't have to stop at Christmas ornaments - make all kinds of designs.

Best cut out dough I've used. Great flavor not too spicy.

I agree it's a great solid cookie. Texture was perfect. I used Karo syrup instead of molasses, and 2tsp. of Oriental spice instead of all the other spices. Came out to be a perfect cookie to have with a cup of tea. I would make again.

These cookies were so good! My dough ended up not being moist enough so I had to add an extra 1/8 of a cup of butter then it was perfect.

Very good! I made gingerbread people out of this recipe and they turned out great. The only thing is that although the recipe says it'll make about 12, it made 3 dozens. I'm glad I didn't double up the recipe as I had planned initially!

I've been baking cookies for more than 45 years, and this is the absolute best gingerbread cookie I have ever tried. The dough handled beautifully, required no chilling and didn't spread in the oven. They taste wonderful, too. The icing recipe included is also good, though I had to add more milk to make it go through the decorator without effort. If higher humidity makes the dough sticky (which I doubt will happen with this recipe) you can always roll it between sheets of parchment paper and freeze it. It will be easy to cut almost straight out of the freezer. Works with any roll-out cookie dough. If all else failed, you could make drop cookies. Throw out cookie dough? Not in this lifetime!

I do not know if I did something wrong! But the dough was so sticky I had to through it away!

These cookies were incredibly good! We didn't use them as ornaments, just made them to decorate and eat. The first batch didn't even make it to decorating, we just gobbled them up! This dough was the best for cutouts. I chilled it for only a half hour and it was wonderful. I think if you changed the name of the recipe to Christmas Cookie Cutouts you would have a ton of rave reviews- I don't think enough people are finding this gem of a cookie recipe :) Thanks for the new favorite!
