I made ninjabread cookies (using ninja cookie cutters) with this recipe, and they were cute AND tasty! I doubled the recipe, used lemon zest instead of orange, molasses instead of corn syrup, used less cinnamon as I ran out, and added a good amount of freshly grated nutmeg. For the simple decorations, I used meringue powder mixed with a bit of water and used a small Ziploc bag for piping. Super easy and fast!

These were fantastic! Very moist and flavorful. Here were my mods: substituted 1/4 cup of wheat bran in place of 1/4 cup flour. I ran out of sugar, so I only had about 2/3 cup instead of 3/4 cup. They were still moist and delicious though. I used frozen wild blueberries. For the topping (since I ran out of sugar), I substituted maple syrup and added a pinch of salt. It turned the mixture into a paste so I added a handful of panko to make it more crumb like. I put a teaspoon of the mixture on top of the muffins (12 muffin tray) and this turned out to be a lovely crunchy top. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious cookies! I pressed a single piece of honey roasted pecan on each cookie as soon as they were out of the oven. I also added a little bit of grated fresh nutmeg for added kick. I also used Robin Hood NutriBlend flour instead of All Purpose.
