I LOVE these cookies! I actually doubled the cinnamon too. Wonderful cookies and super chewy. Dangerous because I could eat them all!

A lovely cookie that tastes like autumn! It made the house smell incredible. I didn't want a flat cookie so I added a half cup more flour and a bag of Hershey's Cinnamon Chips.

Anything with cinnamon in disappears at a rate of knots in this house and these were no different. I used black treacle for the molasses which I think is the UK equivalent. In my oven 10 minutes was the perfect cooking time, crisp on the edges chewy in the middle. Thankyou Mellan.

These were great, we thought they tasted like "Cinnamon Toast Crunch"! The only change I made was to add another tablespoon of cinnamon.

They were just okay. Really, nothing exciting. Boring. Very soft and doughy, not "chewy". Even though I baked them for a lot longer than the recipe stated and watched them carefully they still seemed to have no crunch at all, even around the edges, and too soft in the middle. Flavor is not great either, although I did take other reviewers suggestions to heart and added brown sugar with the white, vanilla, and doubled the cinnamon. I also added about 1/8 tsp. of allspice and 1/2 tsp. of ginger. Still didn't have much taste. BUT, I got beautiful looking cookies by measuring with a small ice cream scoop, rolling into balls and then rolling in coarse sugar. Looked great, but blah and ho hum. Won't make again.

Ok, I noticed something strange here. The recipe supposedly yields 3 dozen cookies, but it says to "drop" them by teaspoons! First of all, the dough was stiff enough to be able to roll into little balls after scooping them with a teaspoon, making the finished cookies look like cute little coins. Secondly, teaspoon-sized cookies in this recipe makes way more than 3 dozen. Perhaps the writer of this recipe meant to say drop by tablespoonfuls? Regardless, these are delicious! I like my cookies chewy and on the softer side, so I only baked these little cinnamon coins for 7 minutes and they were just right. I still have over half a batch of dough left, so I may make some larger ones, but I actually like them bite sized. I cooled them on the sheet pan until they were hard enough to move to a plate. Yum!

I had everything in my pantry already which was perfect at 10pm. These cookies tasted pretty good. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. My husband ate them all in 3 days. Next time I will definitely use all-purpose instead. The cookies didn't come out looking at all like the photo's submitted, lol. It's a keeper for sure.

This recipe is great. I added a few things and they were wonderful. 1/2 tsp salt goes a long way. I also tried 1 cup of walnuts (chopped fine) It is a thin cookie so I was expecting to fall apart, but they held up well. Finally, I added a 1/2 cup of chopped candied ginger (works best in a food processor with a couple of tbsp of the sugar from the recipe. They came out great! I made them for my boyfriend and his mom tasted one and asked for the recipe!

These cookies are indeed amazing! I followed the recipe to a T other than I added some cinnamon chips I had in the pantry. We loved these and as long as you dont let them brown to much they do stay soft and chewie. These are a nice change of pace from the regular chocolate chip cookie!

AMAZING. These are absolutely delicious, melt in the mouth cookies!! Tip: Don't let them brown around the edges, take them out before they do and they'll be deliciously chewy when they've cooled.

When I first tasted these cookies, I was in love. They are the best cookies I have ever tasted in my life, I swear! I chose this recipe because I am a cinnamon addict, and I'm glad I did. You see, I generally opt to bake the boring old chocolate chip cookies that can be very fickle. With these, I had them in the oven for ten minutes and every single one was perfect. I did change one thing though: I substituted the 1/2 cup of white sugar for 1/2 cup of brown sugar because I am also a huge brown sugar enthusiast. Everyone who tried these was so glad that I made them. =D

I followed spiritanointed's suggestions, adding 1 tsp vanilla with the egg, using 2 Tbsp cinnamon, and omitting the molasses. These are fabulous! Not the prettiest cookies I have ever seen, but once you take a bite you won't care. Easy dough to work with.

These were very good. They do as others have said end up a little flat, but they are great looking and great tasting. Just be sure you don't cook them too long though. When I baked them for 12 they came out super crunchy like ginger snaps. 8 minutes resulted in a great, chewy but firm cookie.

Heavenly! The best and most popular cookie i have ever eaten/baked. Definitely follow others tips on the salt and vanilla. I like to add extra cinnamon and sometimes some ground hot pepper to spice them up even more. Otherwise they are perfect and always come out crispy and a little chewy, like a home made gingersnap. I love molasses cookies and these are my fave.Whenever there is a family gathering people ask me to make them. YOU MUST MAKE THESE !

WOW!! These are some of the best cookies I've ever made, and I make cookies at least twice a week. I did make a few changes after reading the reviews here. I used 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar, added about a tsp more cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tsp salt. The salt is really needed to compliment the sweetness of cookies. The dough was easy to work with--I just scooped about a tablespoon into a rough ball and slightly flattened it for each cookie. Baked for 8 minutes, and the results were fantastic. I used Silpat baking mats and had no problems with the cookies sticking or falling apart, but did let them cool for a few minutes before removing them to wire racks. I won't even admit how many I ate before the kids got home from school! The cookies are crisp on the outside, but so buttery and chewy on the inside. The flavor is fantastic. I will certainly be making these again soon!
