This did make a very delicious cookie. Mine were milder because I had to substitute light corn syrup for molasses, and I used half the cloves because of my picky eaters. I personally would have liked the full amount. My dough was very dry and crumbly, so I added more syrup, which was probably a mistake. My only complaint with these cookies is that even after freezing half the dough overnight and rolling it out just as soon as it was soft enough to roll, using a cookie sheet that was not hot, and working as quickly as possible (not great for an activity with the kids, which is what I originally intended), the cookies still spread enough to make the so-carefully-cut-out shapes all but indiscernible. Probably my fault, not the fault of the recipe. We dipped them in white chocolate sauce, and even my husband, who doesn't like cloves or white chocolate, thought they were divine. I agree with others--the recipe didn't make enough cookies for all the trouble.
