These were good but they didn't have a real spicy ginger taste that I like. I think next time I will have to increase the ginger by alot for my taste. Good overall though.

I love ginger snap cookies so I was excited to try these. One plus for these, no butter. With all of my holiday baking, I've spent what feels like a small fortune on butter. These made the house smell delicious and tasted even better. They remind of the ones my babysitter made for us as kids.

I liked these. They stayed soft and chewy and were flavorful. I will use this recipe if I need gingersnaps again.

Wunderbar! This is almost my Grandma's Ginger-Molasses Cookie recipe with the exception of the tablespoon of ginger, instead of a rounded teaspoon, but she never measured any way and it was just our guesstimate from watching her! Great blend of flavors, soft and chewy with a little crunch on the outside. She always told us to store them in a coffee can to help keep the freshness! Also, make sure you have fresh baking soda and ginger to make sure these cookies turn out their best. I find I have to get new ginger after 2 years! Thank you for sharing!

Mine turned out extremely thin and flat. They had great flavor, though, and everyone said they were good.

These cookies are obviously great --based on the five stars from most people. I think they are most definitely a five star cookie. My husband said they are the best cookies ever made. I made two batches- the first I followed the recipe exactly. The second, I added three dashes of ground cloves and one teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to the sugar/butter mixture before I added the flour. This batch was better in my opinion. It added the puch of ginger that so many recipes lack. I did use butter instead of shortening in both recipes.

I just finished baking these delightful cookies, and they live up to every 5-star review they've received. I will definitely be making these again.

I tried this recipe and let me say, it truly is a great recipe! The cookies are as described-I followed exact recipe directions...I will for sure make these again!!

The cookies came out perfect. My daughter couldn't get enough of them.

I just made these gingersnap gookies for the first time and they turned out perfectly! What a great recipe. Very moist, cute little gingersnaps!

Slightly crispy outside with tender, chewy inside. Nice shape and thickness, although my cookies were not as puffy as the featured picture. The flavor is good, but it is more mild on the spice and seems like something is missing as compared to what I normally expect from gingersnap cookies. I would add 1/4 tsp of ground cloves to the recommended amount of ginger and cinnamon. I used a size 50 scoop, and the recipe made 37 cookies. They were baked on a Pampered Chef baking stone for 10 minutes, taken out of the oven and left to set for two minutes, then removed and placed on a baking rack to cool, which seemed like the right amount of time. I didn't do any of the recommended sifting of dry ingredients, and the cookies seemed to turn out just fine.

Wonderful cookie, very moist and a little chewy...good blend of spices.

A friend of mine gave me this recipe with a little added treat after you bake them. Melt a package of white chocolate chips and approx. 2 tbls. butter and dip just half the cooled cookie in the melted chips and let cool on a piece of wax paper. Compliments the flavor of the cookie. Very addicting!

Perfect melt in your mouth cookies! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I didn't have baking soda, so I used baking powder. I also switched the measurements for the ground ginger and cinnamon (I prefer cinnamon flavor to the ginger), and everything came out delicious with a distinct ginger taste. The only change: don't use granulated cinn/sugar mix. It made the texture too grainy for me.

This recipe is just wonderful!!! Everyone that I made them for say that this is the best gingersnap they have ever tasted! Thanks for sharing!!

Best Ginger snaps I've ever had. In the last few years, I have made many different recipes for these cookies but these were by far the best. They came out perfect. I followed the exact recipe the only thing I added was a pinch of ground cloves to give them some spice. GREAT RECIPE!!! THANK YOU!!!

I have always avoided anything with ginger in it since I have never liked the taste. Well, that has changed with these cookies! These are awesome! Several people at work told me they were "picky" about their Gingersnaps and the look on their faces when they bit into one was priceless. Everyone raved and raved about them and have requested another batch; so much so that one offered to buy the ingredients if I would do the baking!
