Delicious and simple, these came out better than I expected! I pressed them down a little bit and them came out with a crispy shell and soft inside. Even the bf, who doesn't like sweets and only crunchy cookies, declared these his new favorite. I sprayed the measuring cup with Pam before measuring the molasses so it wouldn't stick. Thanks!

These aren't bad, but they lack a bit of oomph for me. or star power. whatever you want to call it. The spices just don't shine in these cookies, and I'm a little addicted to flavor. They aren't bad, though, just not up to my standards, weird as they are. ;o) I made the dough this morning and had to put it in the fridge, which led to very small very round cookies that didn't flatten until I squashed them with a spatula. Don't know if it would happen again if I didn't refrigerate, but at least they flatten well. I flattened after baking and before baking; I think I prefer flattening immediately after baking bc they crinkle up and don't look so uninteresting if you flatten before baking. thanks for the recipe!

Loved these. Did not have molasses at home so instead used honey and used some brown sugar in with the white sugar. Made half the recipe. Delish. A keeper for sure.

This recipe is fantastic! I love the light flavor and how many it makes. I like to use a cookie press so I changed a few things to make it work. First I added 1/4 cup water to make it squeezable. I changed the temp to 325f and shortened the cooking time to 7 min for smaller designs and 10 min for the larger ones. It worked perfectly. Perfect with tea or coffee.

Made the recipe as-is except for two things. One, I had no ground cloves so I used all spice. Two, I found the batter sweet enough without rolling the cookies in sugar so I left that step out. The taste was great. My only complaint is that after they had cooled for 10 or 15 minutes, the outsides were mighty hard. I've thrown them in the refrigerator in a sealed box. I'll see how they are later tonight. Update: the cookies out of the fridge are actually better than they were at room temperature. The outsides are certainly stiffer than the middle but not 'hard' and I'm pleased with the results.

Yum...Made as written, but mixed some sugar and red sugar on a plate and rolled them in that....it's Christmas time! We just had some with a cup of tea on a cold day. Will make these again. I put half in the freezer so we can have them next week. I always freeze cookies to have them on hand when my son comes over.

Incredibly easy and full-flavored cookie! I made a half-recipe and it was just right for our small family. Fluffy and soft with a crispy shell. These cookies get better with age: if you eat one right out of the oven and love it, just wait until you taste it when it's cooled off! Yum!

I love making these cookies at Christmas time! Don't flatten them or overbake them though! They really are some of the best ginger cookies because they stay nice and soft!

I think that this was not as I expected. The cookies were dry and I was hoping for something moist. My mother made a ginger cookie which was similar to this one after I added a whole lot more liquid.

These cookies are a little less sweet than the usual molasses/ginger/spice cookie, so they're great with cocoa egg nog, or other sweet drinks. We made ours rolled in powdered sugar and about half the size in the directions. They end up like little spice cakes, very cute and welcomed at the office.

These cookies were really easy to make and yummy. My husband who normally doesn't like Ginger Cookies even liked them. They are best warm from the oven.

My husband and kids loved these cookies. I also "thumb printed" a portion of the cookies and filled them with jam. My house smelled wonderful of ginger and spice.
