This recipe is a hit with everyone. I've used it to make gingerbread men as well. Cookies freeze very well.

These cookies will make a regular appearance in our home. The flavor is great and they are easy to make. Don't skimp on the fresh and crystallized ginger.

They're very, very chewy, even in the desert - maybe from the raw ginger? I'd recommend baking them until the tops are brown, too (they'll still be chewy), and waiting a bit before eating them - they only get better. Thanks for the recipe!

These cookies have a really nice bite to them, and I LOVED them. The only thing I did differently was sprinkle coarse unrefined sugar over the top for a bit a "sparkle". Aside from that, wouldn't change a thing.

i didn't think they were a pain at all. i also didn't find them "hot", and would probably increase the candied and/or ground ginger next time. either way, these are delicious, and i don't think i'll ever make another kind of ginger cookie. my father is a huge ginger-holic, and i can't wait to let him try these. even my three-year-old enjoyed them. thanks!

Thanks for this delicious recipe - it was exactly what I wanted in a ginger cookie. If you keep your ginger root frozen, you can grate it quickly without peeling it because the skin falls to the side as you grate. I reduced the baking powder to 1 1/2 tsp. to keep the saltiness down. If you like to add other spices to these cookies, you should try cardamom or five-spice powder.

I love ginger so I had high hopes. I was a little disappointed. The flavor was only moderately gingery, but they do have a noticeable hot bite from the ginger. I would have preferred more ginger flavor and less hotness. *The next day the hotness had mellowed, and the flavor improved. They turned out great.

Delicious, very chewy and flavorful, lots of gingery bite, exactly what I was craving. Not too difficult, to make, just a little bit time consuming. Worth it!

AMAZING! I wanted to ensure they would be crunchy and chewy so I added 1/4 c more butter and decreased baking soda to 1 1/2 tsp. Theese are the best Ginger cooies ever.

YUMMY!!! These are wonderful! The grocery store near me ran out of crystallized ginger (available in the baking aisle near the candied cherries for fruit cake). I ended up tripling (actually probably more than that) on ground ginger and grated fresh ginger. I also found ground wet ginger near the minced garlic and used 2 teaspoons of that as well. (I'm a HUGE ginger fan.) These came out soft, moist and cake-like which I love. I can appreciate a crunchy cookie, but I like my ginger cookies soft. Beautiful cookies! Will definitely make again. Though mine did stick to the cookie sheet. I will have to lightly grease it next time. Thanks Laria!

WOW! The flavour of these cookies is so intense! I had high expectations making these and the outcome exceeded them. I would'nt change a thing about this recipe, however I did put a dollop of raspberry jam in the centre of each cookie. YUM. I will definately be making these again and again!
