WOW!!! These are my new favorite cookies with molasses! I halved the recipe but I still added almost a whole bag of cinnamon chips. They are fantastic.

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!

I absolutely love these cookies!! I am a big fan of any spice cookie, but these are now my new favorite! These will defintely be in my list of cookies to make during the holiday season!!

I tried this cookie a few years ago and not my family begs for them each year! The recipe for 5 doz is plenty, they go fast!

These are wonderful! Very flavorful. I used butter and some applesauce in place of the shortening, and they turned out great!

These are great! my family loved them! I left half the batch in for and xtra 3 mins so they were dark brown and crunchy. They loved them like that but they suggested nxt time i leave out the chocolate chips!

These actually came out more like tiny gingersnaps with cinnamon chips in them, but I've had dozens of requests for the recipe. I made them with splenda, and they came out amazing with only 30 calories in each little cookie. Definitely the best choice on the cookie plate. Of course, not if you eat 5 cookies at a time...

Great recipe! My first try came out very soft (as they are supposed to, but a bit too soft for me) so the second time I added a little less molasses (about a third of a cup), both times they came out fantastic. :) I noticed another person tried butterscotch chips as a substitute. I really do not recommend the butterscotch at all. It's a strong flavor that ends up competing with the strong molasses and ginger flavors and overall I didn't think it worked very well. I tried another batch with white chocolate chips as a substitute chip and the slightly reduced molasses and those were amazingly good. Rave reviews over the holidays from family members including my 3-yr.-old niece who always tells it like it is. ;) I greased the cookie sheet with margarine, I like to grease the sheet even though this recipe says not to. They came out great with nice goldeny flat bottoms. I decorated at the end with confectioner's sugar instead of white sugar which I also recommend. That's it for my changes, other than that I made them as per the recipe. Fantastic cookies, I'm sure I'll be making these again!

These had a nice flavor. Don't be afraid to put the 2 T of vanilla in, like I was; it's balanced by the spices. However, this was not the molasses spice cookie I thought it would be, but a light batter. The dough was not at all stiff as mentioned. It was too soft to roll. I added an extra 1 c of flour and chilled it. I also did not need to flatten them as they spread when cooked. Cinnamon chips were impossible to find in my area. I substituted butterscotch. I'm sure the cinnamon would be great, but I spent 2 hours and didn't find them.

Excellent recipe - this has a very unique and delicious taste. They were a big hit at the office.

These cookies are so chewy, spicy, and good. I used 3 sticks of butter (eeek, good thing it makes a lot of cookies!) in place of the 1.5 cups of shortening and reduced the salt to three-quarters of a tsp. and they came out great.

These cookies are soooo yummy, especially when right out of the oven! The cinnamon chips really add a lot of flavor. This is definitely a "do again" recipe!
