Great recipe! Impossible to eat only one :) I used butter instead of shortening and did not chill the dough, they still came out delicious. I also topped the cookies with granoal and dried fruit for a unique twist. Try not to overcook the cookies, they bake really fast. I´m definetly making these again.

These turned out delicious however mine cooked much faster than the recipe suggested. I think in the end about 5 mins was accurate - when you take them out of the oven they almost seem raw and super soft to take off the pan however they really harden up after coming out of the oven. Great recipe though - will be making these again for sure! They also freeze well and stay nice a and chewy.

Everyone who tried these loved them, even people who don't like molasses! I followed the recipe exactly as written.

Wonderful, wonderful recipe. The only change I made was not rolling the cookies in sugar before I baked them, and they were great!

I made these cookies just as the recipe directs. I did use crisco rather than butte because I knew they would be softer, chewier with the lard. I added these to my own Christmas cookie tray with all my traditional cookies. These were such a hit. My family, friends, and myself all feel this is one of the best cookies EVER. So happy to have this recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

Good flavor. Didn't puff up like I expected/wanted. Freezes very well and then microwaved frozen cookies for a treat after Xmas taste almost fresh baked and chewy!
