My first try at gingerbread cookies and what a wonderful experience! The dough was easy to work with, they all came out beautifully! I will add a bit more ginger and cinnamon next time simply because we like alot of that flavor in our gingerbread cookies. I've spent years buying gingerbread mixes.. no more! This is easy, fun and delicious. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to bake them for the holidays!

I think the amounts in this recipe are perfect and the size is just right. I didn't have enough butter and added some oil instead and it still came out good. I also added a pinch of ground cloves but Im sure it would have been good as is.

As gingerbread cookies go, these were very easy to roll out and work with. They turned out soft and pliable in the middle, but firm on the outside, and kept a nice texture for the 5 days we had them. The flavor was good -- not too spicy and not too sweet -- just right. We enjoyed them with frosting.

I bought one of those pre-packaged mixes and took those to one family dinner and took these to another.... The cookies from this recipe tured out much better than the packaged mix!

This recipe is perfect. Made exactly as written, except I used 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and ginger. I froze the dough for an hour. This rolled, cut, and baked beautifully! Mine were done in only 7 minutes, so watch your time. 8 minutes for me was too long. These are chewy with a crispy edge and hold up well - no spreading! Nice gingerbread taste, too! This will be my go-to recipe for gingerbread from now on.

Very good, baked them for a little less time so they would be softer.

Let me preface this review by saying I am a horrible baker - and have not made much more than choc chip cookies! This recipe is fantastic - super easy to make and the kids rave about them... I sprinkled lightly with sugar before baking to avoid having to do the icing thing. Great recipe!!!

This is a great gingerbread cookie recipe! It tastes great, it's easy to make, and gingerbread men are just so adorable! I really don't even like gingerbread but I just made these because I know how popular they are and I was making them for giving away. They are really good, but be very careful not to burn them because you won't be able to see if they're browning or not, and if they are, then they're burnt! Also, after boiling the molasses mix, let it cool all the way because if you don't then the egg will get all curdled and then it is ruined. Let it cool and if it gets too cooled, then just warm it up a little so it all melts again and pour it into the flour. Once again, GREAT RECIPE! PLUS, no lard or shortening!

My mother, now in her 80's, used this recipe when I was growing up. She just lost it this year and I was delighted to find it here. This is an excellent recipe if you want to send cookies in the mail. Thank you so much for sharing this.

These were really good. I took some advice from some other reviews and doubled the ginger and cinnamon. I did burn like half of them :(...be sure you watch them very closely. Mine cooked faster than 7 minutes..more like 6 woulda been perfect.

good cookies, but they need a little more spice in them. I doubled the cinnamon and ginger, but next time I'll add even more. also needed the extra 1/3 cup of flour, as another reviewer noted.

Easy dough to make and roll. I did think the cookies were very mildly flavored and could stand to be a bit more spiced for that real gingerbread flavor.

Yummy! At first the dough seemed too much like batter, so I added about 1/3 C flour and it was perfect. After chilling for a couple hours as the recipe stated, the dough was very easy to work with. Instead of sprinkling flour to help keep the dough from sticking, use powdered sugar!

This recipe turned out perfect. The dough was very easy to handle and rolled out perfectly. This is the only dough I've ever made that wasn't sticky at all. Thank you so much for the post. Only thing I changed was to roll out my dough on a surface covered with powdered sugar instead of flour. Many Thanks!!

For as much time as this recipe takes, they aren't worth it. (Cooking, Mixing, Chilling, Rolling, Cutting, Baking and Icing) I made them for my daughters kindergarten Christmas party, they were cute but bland. I only used enought icing to make faces and a little decoration, would have been better if I covered the entire cookie with icing.
