When these cookies first came out of the oven, they were perfect. The house smelled of spices, and they tasted fabulous. As they cooled on the wire racks, though, they started to get hard... and harder and harder. When they were completely cooled, they were like little bricks. We couldn't bite into them! They weren't burnt, just rock hard. With the simple list of ingredients, I know it wasn't something I skipped or missed. They're just... really, really hard.

Attractive, tasty, and chewy. I created a well in the dry ingredients in which to add the wet ingredients, and I folded it all together with a silicone scraper. Instead of hand-rolling, I used a Pampered Chef medium size scoop.

These were delicious without being too gingery. I'm not a big fan of gingerbread cookies and this was just enough to give me a bit of the taste of gingerbread, but the nice chewy softness of a regular cookie. I hand stirred it and I did NOT press them down, just left them in balls on the cookie sheet. They baked up marvelously and tasted divine! Soft, chewy and TASTY!

My cookies spread a lot because of all the liquid. I had a sheet of cookies that I had to cut apart. 12 per cookie sheet was too much. I made 17 cookies total, but they all ended up flat and not pretty looking like the photo pictured here. They'd make great ice cream sandwiches though. They are chewy and taste good, but they don't look so great. Maybe my baking soda was too old? I will try them again sometime, as it's so easy, and they're good. Not fabulous though. I sprinkled some granulated sugar on top of most of them before baking. Tasted better on day 2. *UPDATE* I made these again, this time rolling dough into balls and making much smaller cookies. I made 48 cookies, about 10-12 per sheet, baked about 10 min. They are GREAT.

Great quick cookie. I suggest mix this by hand to make sure the cookies stay nice plump and chewy. I also did not flatten slightly like the recipe said. I will make again! Update: Even chewier and better flavor the next day!
