This was a good cookie recipe but it did seem to be a tad bit bland at the first bite but leaves a wonderful lingering flavor on the taste buds. I did increase the ginger and cinnamon. It is a great dough to work with though and produces as wonderful, chewy texture. My kids flipped over them especially after I iced some with the Gingerbread Cookie Frosting (also on this site).

This is soooo good!!! I made a couple of batches, so I could have some gingerbread men and a gingerbread house. It is very soft and chewy, which is good for the men, bad for the house. I cooked the house pieces a little longer though, and it worked out perfectly. THANK YOU!!

I followed the review and added double the ginger and cloves, and less molasses. The cookies still came out tasting too much like molasses, and nothing much else.

When I first took the dough out of the fridge it was dry and stiff. I heated it in the microwave to warm it a little and then it was great. I don't think this dough needs to be refridgerated like the recipe calls for. If the dough seems hard to work with I suggest warming it a little first. The cookies turned out great!

I was apprehensive, with the variety of reviews, but this recipe turned out great. I've made gingerbread cookies in the past; either the dough was too tough to work with, or they did taste like cardboard after baking (the frosting redeemed them). I did double the ginger, as suggested. The dough was soft, easy to work with, and did not get hard and tough as we continued to work with it. The dough we were working with mixed very well with the dough we added from the refrigerator. The cookies were soft when done baking. The kids and I both liked the flavor. I will use this recipe again.

Fantastic! My kids as well as the adults in the family loved this cookie. If they come out too dry, try cooking them for a minute or so less. The dough was easy to make, at the end it got a little difficult for mixing but once the dry ingredients were all absorbed it was a dream! Give it a taste test before you divide it up for the fridge. This was a really nice cookie, I will make it every year! Thanks Kim!

Though the dough takes a good deal of time and effort to prepare ( it becomes very thick and dificult to mix) this recipe is well worth the effort. I served them at a neighborhood cookie swap and they were the hit of the party! Thanks Kim!

the dough was dry and a little hard to deal with. My advice would be to not let it chill too long.

This recipe turned out pretty awfully. It was dry and tasteless. Frosting them made them only slightly better. We chose this recipe because of its high rating, but were disappointed with the results, to say the least. You're better off frosting cardboard!

Easy and full of what makes gingerbread good - molasses and ginger. Perfect for cutting into you favourite shapes for icing. Hard enough that they keep their shape, but soft enough to be enjoyed.

Was very easy and quick to make (for a rolled cookie). I haven't frosted them yet, but I was a bit disappointed in the taste - a bit bland. I noticed that the recipe did not include any salt. I wonder if this would affect their taste. I think also that I would increase the amount of cinnamon. Overall, though, a very nice cookie.

This recipe is very good for making gingerbread houses as it is a large quantity and also very dense. This is a very flavorful gingerbread.

If you are looking for a soft gingerbread cookie, after baking, this is the recipe for you. Dough cuts and handles nicely, feel the spices should have been more intense. I will frost these with lemon flavored icing, hope it redeems them!
