This is a classic, spicey gingerbread recipe. I haven't made this recipe in a year, so I can't recall if I follow the baking time, but I like my cookies soft. You may need to bake a few minutes longer if you like them crisp.

This recipe is horrible! Dough is sticky after 1.5 hours in refrigerator. Recipe doesn't call for eggs, don't know if that matters.

This was very easy to work with and they tasted good. Several people felt that the molasses was too strong so I may cut that down to 3/4 cup and add corn syprup for the remaining 1/4 cup. I thought they were delicious!

This is the perfect old-fashioned gingerbread recipe. We made it without an electric mixer and it worked perfectly. I didn't use the icing recipe so I can't comment on that. I can say that these are the type of cookies that need to be decorated as the extra sweetness makes them perfect. We made them about half a centimetre thick and used all different shapes of cutters but ended up with about 80 (or more cookies) from a single batch. We will definitely be making these every year.
