Tastes just like the ones from Starbucks! I made them huge but they were too tall, next time I have to flatten them a little! I also made a mix of 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, a pinch of ginger and 2 tbsp of sugar and coated the cookies in this to give them a "crackle top". So with the "crackle top" and flavour of these cookies all I was missing was a Toffee Nut Latte to make a Starbucks experience at home.

These are easy and oh so yummy. A suggestion I have for this and other recipes that are to be formed into balls: use a cookie scoop. It looks like a tiny ice cream scoop. Take a scoop of dough and drop it into the sugar. Rolling the dough in the sugar will further help form the 'ball' and, your fingers will only have a few granules of sugar rather than a sticky mess. It's a valuable little tool.

Just took these out of the oven and they are DELICIOUS!! Didn't have shortening or ground ginger, so substituted butter and nutmeg...but can't imagine them coming out any better!

Best ginger/molasses cookie I've ever tasted!!! Most get too hard and crunchy where these are perfectly soft and chewy, with just a slight crunch around the edges. I had to alter the shortening though, so I used 1/2 c regular shortening with 1/4 butter (not margarine).

For me, this is the perfect molasses cookie. I've been searching for years and finally found it - crisp yet chewy, tasting of molasses and spices and sugar, melting in the mouth. Think the Starbuck's molasses cookie but smaller. Not being fond of shortening, I compromised with half butter flavor shortening and half butter, and being very fond of cloves, I upped the cloves to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, and was very happy. Be aware that the dough is rather sticky, so your hands will be too when you're done. Well worth the trouble though.
