I followed recipe & they were perfect. I made mini gingerbread people, as some suggested I left them a little thick & coated with a glaze & cut up marshmallows. Did not last long on Christmas Eve!!! But I will say this; gingerbread dough is a pain in the *** to work with. Cut the recipe in half! T'was a difficult task with ALL THAT DOUGH!

This recipe was delicious and easy. The dough was very easy to work with and you don't have to double it to make a large batch of cookies. I rolled them thicker and baked them for 11 minutes and they had that initial crunch when you bit into them then were nice and chewy. I will make these again for sure. I made no changes.

The cookies have a great flavor to them. Easy to make. If you don't want them to be quite so hard, though, I would take a little bit of time off the baking time. I only baked mine 8 minutes. I know Gingerbread is supposed to be crispy but I don't want it to break my teeth.

I was able to roll these out and make some great shapes,,, i even frosted some. They had no distinct flavor. =( disappointing. The ones i put frosting on.. just tasted like frosting.

An ok recipe. I more than doubled the spice amount and still found it a bit bland - I'll likely quadruple next time. It's not overly sweet which I like. I found that I had to add a little extra water to get the right consistency (next time I'll try a bit more shortening). For those that complained of stickiness, I had to flour my rolling pin and table well to prevent sticking, but then didn't find it too problematic.

I realized I used a self rising flour with baking soda and salt and I didn't add any baking soda as I figured that would do it. I should have read the other recipes first.Yes something wrong with the recipe, never have I had a bad recipe from all recipes...maybe less molasses?? Something isn't right. Really bad :(

Great recipe, and simple. I doubled this and rolled 1/2 inch thick for a softer cookie. I will never use another. This one rocks! Thanks much!

This is an awesome recipe. I brought them in to work and everyone raved that they were the best gingerbread cookie they have ever had. I used butter instead of shortening. Thank you, I have found a new holiday tradition.
