I usually don't try recipes that don't have good ratings from a number of users. but i saw this recipe, got excited for Christmas cookies and didn't notice the few reviews. Won't make that mistake again! These cookies spread out when baked and just turned into cookie chips, not to mention they lost all discernible form. boring, blah, threw them out.

I had to add 1/4 cup more flour so the dough would hold shape And added 1 more teaspoon cinnamon. They turned out great the kids loved them and had so much fun making them with the kids!

This is the only sugar cookie recipe I ever use. My daughter begs me every year for gingerbread cookies, but I hate gingerbread. This is my compromise. You still get a yummy, spicy cookie without such a strong, harsh flavor. The only changes I make are to up to cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp, because I really love cinnamon, and to only bake for 7 minutes. Any longer than that, and the dough spreads too much and the cookies become misshapen, and 7 minutes (in my oven, anyway) is plenty long enough to bake them. We just made a batch, tonight. We can't wait to decorate them, tomorrow!

This cookie was simply a sugar cookie with a hint of spice. I was hoping for something with a little more kick to it. As a dough for cookie cutters, it did not work for me. I had high hopes too.

This was my best cookies made yet my family told me. I loved them too, and I also made the icing for it. I think you could make just gingerbread men shapes and people would think that they are gingerbread cookies. Overal, this was my most favorite cookie recipe on this website. Also, I did change the nutmeg to allspice instead. It still tasted very good!

I loved the recipe and tweaked the sugar by using 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 c. of molasses.
