This was a huge hit over the holidays. I had several different people with several different tastes raving over these cookies. I was worried at first because the dough was a bit dry but I guess that's what it's supposed to be like. They turned out great and I'd love to make them again. I suppose I should...

These were very, very good. I used butter instead of shortening with no problems. I also substituted brown for white sugar. I froze the dough for two days, then kept it very, very cold between each baked batch by keeping it outside in the Utah winter! I used a tablespoon size ice cream scoop to form. The dough was just a little sticky, but not any stickier than other cookie dough you roll. Perfect baking time for me was 9 minutes on parchment paper, which makes cleanup a breeze! The cookies were crispy around the edges and soft everywhere else. Nice recipe, thanks for sharing it!

Great recipe! I used red and green sugar, and colored sprinkles on some to make them festive looking. Big hit with the family. I liked that they didn't have to be rolled out.

These cookies are wonderful! My husband isn't crazy about molasses or gingerbread type cookies or cakes, but loved these cookies. They stayed soft & chewy for over a week, kept in an airtight container. The recipe didn't state light or dark molasses....I used light & they were yummy! Other than that I did't change a thing. Just be sure not to overbake! Eight minutes seemed to be perfect if left on the cookie sheet 1-2 minutes after taking them out of the oven. This is a keeper!!!

So easy, and it cooks so fast that I baked them in the morning for breakfast...I live in a humid country, so I'll let you know how long they last...IF and ever they get to x-mas!! Fabulous! I added nutmeg and all-spices as well :)

Delicious! I used butter rather than the shortening. I took them out of the oven at about 9 mins, as I like a softer cookie. They have stayed soft and still taste good four days later. I will make these again.

This is one of my favorite cookies. I always get asked to make these for Christmas cookie trays at work. Just the aroma of them baking reminds me of winter and the holidays but they are good year round. I use my cookie scoop to form them into balls and they go quickly when I am in 'baking mode' during the holiday rush. The dough can also be made the day ahead and refrigerated until you are ready to bake.

This is a great spice cookie, even for me though I don't usually appreciate that sort of thing. We didn't have any ginger, so I used pumpkin pie spice in place of all the spices. I also tried to roll and cut these into shapes, but that didn't work out-- the cookies ballooned (my three-year-old though it was magic: the gingerbread men turned into snowmen!) But the cookies tasted great anyway.

I made these for a cookie exchange party. I needed seven dozen so I tripled the recipe and came out with 17 dozed, wow!!! But everyone LOVED these cookies. They are wonderful, time consuming due to the refrigeration process but really easy to put together, decorate, and bake! Thanks for the recipe.

THese turned out great! I used a course sugar to roll the balls in before baking. Kind of made them look sparkly. I crave these spicy cookies and could eat a batch myself!

Fabulous!!! I made a couple of changes. I only had butter so made them with butter versus shortening. I also made a mistake and didn't allow the melted butter to cool. This made for VERY soft dough, so I had to add about 1/2 cup of flour. We rolled them in red and green sugar for Christmas. I big hit in my house.

I am so glad I tried this recipe! Moist and chewy, with the perfect amount of spice. The dough was so tasty; a large portion of it never got to see the inside of my oven. Delicious!

Excellent, crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Perfect spicyness. Not a fan of using that much shortening, so I used 1 cup shortening, 1 stick of butter and it turned out sooo good. Once the shortening/egg mixture cools, it does get pretty stiff, so using an electric mixer with a dough hook is ideal or else you'll get a nice work out. I chilled my dough for only 2 hours and it was plenty. This dough crinkles beautifully and this recipe makes a lot of cookies. I used walnut sized dough balls and yielded a little over 3 dozen. I tested my oven with a thermometer to check the temperature accuracy, and it was. 375 degrees at exactly 9 minutes made soft, chewy cookies. Will be my master recipe from now on. Rivals the bakery ones - and so easy to make.
