My kids loved this recipe. I wouldn't consider it true gingerbread, but they were delicious and the dough was very easy to work with when kept chilled. The icing was a great consistency for piping as well.

These cookies were the closest thing that compared to my grandmother's recipe. The intensity of the ginger and cloves were perfect. Well done.

I love they way they taste plain but for the holiday I was going to decorate some.

I love this recipe! I have used it many times and it always turns out great! I get complements every time I make these. The cookies most of the time do spread out too far after being baked, but you can just put designs with icing on them and they will look really nice.

These were wonderful. My son says they are nice and moist. The dough did spread when baking, my people looked very fat, but they tasted great.

The cookies are soft enough to be edible, but firm enough to make good building material, about the texture of a good sugar cookie. They are lightly spiced enough that even the people who don't like gingerbread usually even enjoy them, but still have that wondeful gingerbread bite.

The kids ate these faster than we could bake them. I loved how easy it was to throw together and we even made some gingerbread houses with this recipe :)

As someone who doesn't generally like gingerbread cookies, I thought these were good. They do taste more like a spicy snickerdoodle than a gingerbread like another reviewer stated, also I found them to be more of a crisp cookie. I will definitely make these again.

I loved this recipe and although they are more spice biscuits than ginger, they were delicious. After reading the reviews I added an extra half a cup of flour and the biscuits kept their shape beautifully. This recipe will definitely be a favourite of mine and my family's

These were good, however, I think next time I will add slightly more seasoning and a tiny bit more sugar (though not much). I ended up baking them for 6 minutes at 350 after a few burnt batches, but this may just be my old oven.
