Substituted honey for the molasses and brown sugar instead of white. Also added one teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon. End result was great! I love the taste but wondering how to make them a little less chewy and more crispy?

*Wow*! I baked these for a friend, but I just ate one and they are SUPER~! The recipe is easy, they look pretty, smell good and taste great. Two thumbs up for sure. ps- I used oil instead of butter because she can't have dairy and they came out perfectly.

These are excellent cookies! Very easy to make and a nice taste and texture. Leave them out overnight to get crispy on the outside. And I made them into disks (not balls) and only dipped the top half in the sugar before baking. Next time I make them I will try less butter - I suspect that they will be just as good with less better.

Delicious!!! I have tried to make ginger/molasses cookies and they always end up flat, but these were perfect. Unfortunately I had to do without the molasses on my first batch and substituted brown sugar for the white sugar... still delicious and perfect.

I have made these for a few years now, they are my families favorite cookie ever! I bake from scratch as a rule and have tried dozens and dozens of cookie recipes, this one is the top of my list. The cookie is amazing, complex with perfectly blended flavors. Thank you for the recipe!

These cookies were delicious! Definitely chill the dough thoroughly because as I found, the dough sticks to your hands and is hard to roll if still a little warm.

Excellent! A little less molassas next time, maybe, but a very good and super-easy cookie. Resisted the temptation to flatten the raw cookies with a fork and am glad I did. Cookies flattened nicely on their own, creating attractive little cracked-tops.

I baked these for 'goodie' day at the office. I got rave reviews for them. I up the ginger a little bit, about half again and watch them closely to not over bake so that they stay soft and chewy. I've tried them with fresh ginger and with powdered. I've found it well worth the effort to grate the ginger as this makes a much tastier cookie.

These cookies are fantastic! I replaced one of the cups of flour with whole wheat flour and they turned out great. Because I live at a high altitude I adjusted the baking time to 11-12 minutes. It was perfect.

I am required to make these for family every Christmas season! I found this year that rolling them in white sparkling sugar gives them a beautiful look and actually keeps them from spreading too much while they bake. LOVE these cookies.

These cookies have an amazing simple, fresh flavour. They bake up to be just the right consistency, slightly soft with mildly crispy edges.

These cookies have become a regular in our house. I always freeze some when I make them, and they keep very well this way. Freezing is the only way I can keep some around, they are eaten as quickly as I make them otherwise. I have stopped going to the effort of grinding fresh ginger for them and use powdered instead, but otherwise follow the recipe as written. I chill the dough well and do not flatten the balls. I dip the tops in turbano sugar before baking. They are chewy, flavorful and moist.

Really tasty. Just a tip...do NOT refrigerate the dough overnight. Not sure why, but when I did it made the dough not rise. The second batch I followed the suggestion of putting it in the freezer for just a few minutes instead. That seemed to work out well.
