This dough was easy to work with and the cookies came out chewy but sturdy. Love the flavor, too, though they do need icing to be sweet enough for my taste. :)

Had to add a bit more flour than the recipe called for (about 1/4 cup) And the flavor left much to be desired. However, it rolled wonderfully, baked perfectly and was study beyond belief. So, all in all if you're looking for a good recipe to use for gingerbread house making this is a good one, but maybe add some more spices (like some of the other reviewers suggested)

I doubled the spice to give them more flavor. I also had a touch of issue with them rising as much as they do, but once I was aware of that I was able to fix the shapes as they came out of the oven. Leaving them out on the table overnight allowed them to harden up nicely and the building was a breeze!

A nice recipe. Note that the ginger flavour is fairly mild. If you are looking for gingerbreaqd with some bite then look for one with more cloves and ginger. And if you roll it thick it will need longer to cook.

They weren't sweet enough for our tastes - and too crunchy. I didn't use icing, though - that may have helped.

We made these yesterday in a WI blizzard. Wow and Yum! We like g.bread though while it's not usually our 1st choice, we had enough time to make a batch and these were disappearing while we were decorating. I didn't have any problem with them being crunchy, in fact, they were nice and moist. Not too spicy, a mellow flavor but the spice could be upped if you like it that way.

Didn't worry about all the spices... kids probably won't eat them made it 1/2 with white and 1/2 brown flour as I ran out of white. Used the bosch and switched to dough hook after adding first portion of flour. Doubled recipie but it was too much. REcipie as is makes a 6" by 4" houses
