This is a great gingerbread. I love icing gingerbread men, so I make them and give them to friends and family at Christmastime. Everyone says they're delicous! It tasted good to me, even, and I don't like gingerbread.

This is the best gingerbread recipe I have made, and will continue to make. Everyone expects these little cookies for christmas every year from me. I havent had any problems with them being too sticky but i make sure to chill them overnight, I also double the amaount of cloves and cinnamon. (i love cloves!) I flatten out the dough to about an 8th of an inch thick and cut tons of these little cookies out. They are AMAZING with coffee!!! My mother in law keeps trying to persuade me to make them for every holiday!

This recipe tastes good. Tried to use it for the gingerbread houses, and it was a little too soft--they fell apart, but they tasted yummy!

This recipe was great. I followed all of the instructions except I took the advice of another person and doubled the spices, all but the cloves. The dough was very sticky, but I refrigerated it and that helped. Stayed fresh for days (almost a week I think)

Delicious gingerbread cookie recipe. As with all gingerbread cookie recipe if you like them soft and not snappy, be sure to take out of oven before edges are brown. This recipe is perfectly sweet, perfectly spicey and a lovely soft, puffed, buttery but not greasy texture. If dough is cold and they are cooked at proper temp. they come out neat looking and not too "fat" spread out like some gingerbread recipes. I've tried MANY gingerbread recipes and this is my favorite. My go to recipe for gingerbread and I make LARGE batches (I'm the one relied on for gingerbread. ;) ) for family and friends every christmas. :)

My youngest grandson loves gingerbread cookies. Made 2 batches at Christmas for cut out cookies. The 1st batch followed directions to the "T". 2nd batch made a little different. Used 1 c brown sugar (in place of white sugar) and 1/2 c molasses & 1 whole egg. Decorated with buttercream frosting. Both batches were perfect & the kids (& adults) had a blast decorating the cookies at a Christmas cookie party I threw for them! ***Made 2 batches again for Valentine cut outs. As suggested by a reviewer added 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper to 1 batch of gingerbread dough. Wow!! What a cookie. I used royal icing to decorate the Valentine cookies and the spice went so well with the icing. Perfect cookies. Thanks Steph67 for a great cookie recipe.

These cookies are so good on a cold autumn day. Nice real gingery flavor (I usually add a little extra to mine).

These were awesome! They spread more than I thought they would, so I had some stuck together. But the flavor was awesome, I had several people tell me they loved them because they were spicier. I used brown sugar instead of white sugar, and used ginger, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, because it was all I had on hand. I frosted them with my buttercream frosting, but not covering the entire cookie. (They were footballs, so the laces and sides were white.) They were fabulous!

We made this recipe today and it is fantastic! I cut the cloves down to 1/2 tsp because of some of the reviews and they turned out perfectly! The dough was easy to work with (I just laid a piece of parchment paper on my counter lightly floured) and I found it was fine. The cookies are moist and very very tasty! My daughter has already asked me if I could make these again! Great recipe, thanks for sharing. Just to keep you all updated- these stayed moist for days in my cookie jar. Great cookie- didn't dry out at all

These cookies went over big at the cookie swap. I added a bit more cinnamon than it called for, and I rolled in a little more flour to make the dough easier to work with. They are the perfect Christmas Cookie.

I make several batches of these every Christmas for my students. People keep telling me that lots of kids don't like gingerbread cookies but I get nothing but raves! I'm a huge recipe tinker-er but this is good enough to leave alone. It is a little on the spicy side so a good coating of powdered sugar icing sweetens things up a little. Very very tasty!

This is a great recipe for cut out cookies. The spice was in the middle - I added a bit more ginger. A great tip is to work in small batches as you're rolling the dough out and put the rest in the fridge. Once this dough gets warm, it is tricky! We melted white chocolate and used that to pipe on decorations - much easier to stack and store than softer icing. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good. Just don't let the dough sit in the refrigerator for too long (over a week and a half) or it will become a crumbly mess.

These are wonderful.Everything about this recipe is perfect. And I actually had no problem whatsoever with sticky dough. Didn't add extra flour or anything. These are soft, and have a fantastic flavor that can't be beat anywhere else. These are a staple around the Christmas Season.

These are the best! I've made these 3 times in the past month and everyone seems to like them--including my sister who claims to hate ginger. I don't use all of the molasses, though. I add about 2T molasses and use honey for the rest because I don't really like molasses. These cookies are awesome!

This was my first time making gingerbread and it ws fantastic! This recipe was perfect, very easy, and delicious! I think I ended up eating most of the cookies myself because I am a gingerbread addict, but they went over really well with everyone else too. Can't wait to make them again!
