I cut the recipe in half (I need 5 dozen cookies like I need a whole in my head) and they turned out terrific. The dough was stiff which made it very easy to work with. I did use dark molasses but turned out great. I even made a larger cookie for a cookie sundae. Baked in a 6in cake pan for 13 minutes. Dusted the bottom of the pan with sugar, pressed in the dough and then sprinkled sugar on top.

My family (and friends) LOVE this recipe! They turn out beautiful every time and taste oooh so yummy! I have made two minor changes: 2 tsp. baking soda (instead of 4) and 1 tsp. salt (instead of 2) Thanks so much for the fantastic recipe!

I liked this one, others loved them at my family event. I did make a few changes-only used 1 cup butter, added flaxmeal to replace other amount. I used 1 cup each white and brown sugar, blackstrap molasses, and added cyrstalized giner bits to the last few batches. There was no way this works to roll into balls using butter. I chilled it after 2 trays had cooked into flat slightly lumpy things. After chilling and changing to my smaller cookie scoop, they were better, best after adding the ginger bits. I will make again doing aditional modifications though. I thought they were too greasy/oily from the butter and the chips. I plan on cutting the butter to 1/2-3/4 cup and adding more flaxmeal &/or applesauce to get some rise and not flat cookies. These require the ginger bits for my house to really enjoy them. They are all gone so they only lasted 2 days! I am passing the recipe on to my aunt who loved them.

Marvelous Cookies! My husband loves ginger and cinnamon and he loved these cookies! I did of course add a little bit to the recipe. I used 1 cup white 1 cup brown sugar. (B sugar helps keep baked goods soft after they are cooked plus more molasses taste is always good) I also used bread flour instead of AP (all purpose). The high protein content in the bread flour makes them chewier. I also almost added more spices some Ground Cloves, Cinnamon and extra ginger. :) Also watch the bake time mine barely took 8 mins. Enjoy!

I had a little trouble with the first two batches that went into the oven, but by the third batch they were turning out good. I think I made too many substitutions which caused a runny cookie to start with. Mine were still very flat and the appearance wasn't great but the flavor was AWESOME! My husband really liked them. Next time I will try to follow the recipe closer because this was a really great flavored cookie. :>)

Outstanding. Makes a ton. I didn't change a thing. I found that if you refrigerate the dough, it was actually harder to roll because the chips didn't sink it. I have rolled these in sugar and popped them in the freezer. They will be wonderful when a friend pops over and I need a quick dessert with tea.

VERY buttery. I used white morsels b/c it was all I had. These were good, but they was nothing extra-special about them to me.

I have been making these cookies for a few years. I make them most often at Christmas, but my father-in-law asks for them all the time. I frequently get asked for this recipe.

These really are delicious! I used butter flavored shortening and used regular molasses, but kept everything else the same. These are like a soft chewy gingersnap. They were better the next day also. Will make again!

Nice cookie. I used mostly butter and 1/4 of the shortening, otherwise followed exactly. My non-spice hubby says that they are pretty good, that's a compliment. I think they are a bit too sweet, otherwise very good. My kids loved them.

I followed the recipe exactly and ended with 5 dozen cookies exactly using a medium scoop. I liked the actual flavor of the cookies, but the taste of cinnamon chips left much to be desired. They sort of taste like white chocolate chips with mild cinnamon flavor. Although I'm not a fan of cinnamon chips, I can see myself making these cookies again without them.

I'm surprised at the reviews on these cookies. They just are not that great. I cut back the nutmeg and ginger to 1 1/2 tsps each and they are still pretty overpowered with spice. Plus the flavors just do not blend well. I'm not sure what it is. My husband described it as something really good in with something bad that just ruins the cookie. The rest of the family said they were OK and some really liked them but I still won't be making them again.

It was difficult tracking down a grocery store that carried cinnamon chips, but I finally found them at Lucky's. It was worth the search! These cookies are so good. Spicy, but still sweet enough that my kids loved them! I will definitely make these again!

A refreshing change from the traditional "gingersnap" cookie. Wow! Still have that yummy spiciness, but with the cinnamon chips... Brilliant! Used my trademark Butter Flavor Crisco. And, tossed in a bit more of recommended spices. Presented beautifully!! Can't wait to serve these at Xmas.

These are very good cookies with a taste all their own. I only made two minor changes, and that was to use margarine instead of shortening(I personally don't like using shortening for cookies) and I also only used 1 tsp of nutmeg and ginger. My dough was not "stiff" as was indicated it would be. The dough was too gooey to roll so I just scooped it out using my Tablespoon cookie scoop like any other cookie and sprinkled them with sugar before I put them in the oven. Oh, and one other thing, I could not find light molasses, so I used regular. The cookies turned out excellent! This recipe is a keeper! I will definately make them again. Thank you!

These cookies are fabulous. I only had blackstrap molasses so the taste may have been a bit stronger, but we all agreed that they taste fantastic. This one will be added to my holiday baking, but is good any time of year. It is hard finding the cinnamon chips. My grocer told me they only carry them at Christmas so if you find them, stock up on a few bags!
