Really good recipe. It's a very soft gingerbread kinda cookie. The taste may come of strong to others so what you can do is reduce amount of ginger or cut down on the molasses (maybe 3/4 cup?). If you decide to go on with the orginal recipe, make sure you put a thick layer of marshmallow frosting so that the sweetness of the marshmallow cuts through the gingery taste of the cookie. Really good cookie!! Very soft and that marshmallow frosting is a nice touch!

I was really disappointed. They were not a spicy ginger at all. Next time will add a LOT more ginger, but they were soft and good. Just not what I thought they would be.

We used to buy these when I was a kid. They came in a package that was red, covered with clear plastic. The absolute best with a glass of cold milk. This is comfort food!! I have made 4 batches of them, and they are just like what we used to get. But, they are better as they are fresh, not off the grocery store shelf. I have not been able to find them in a store for years.

My sister remembers my grandmother always having these when she came to visit... She loved them then, and still loves them, thanks for the recipe. The recipe does make a lot of frosting, but that's okay, be generous with the frosting, the cookie itself is not sweet at all. As the frosting sets up over the next day, it does seams to condense a little too. They are a bit of work, but well worth the effort!

These is a cookie that my dad remembers as a boy, so I make them just for him. They are wonderful, but I do double up on the spices as that's how my dad likes them. Traditionally they are cut out with a spam can, but since I won't buy spam (too processed) my dad has to settle for regular cookie cutter shapes. But that doesn't stop him from nibbling on them every time he walks by them. Awesome recipe!

These cookies were excellent!! The frosting recipe made too much, at least for the amount we used per cookie so I might reduce to half next time. In order for the frosting to harden, let them sit at room temperature for several hours. Oh, and unlike most cookie recipes where the total is referring to tiny 1.5" cookies, this recipe actually does make 72 LARGE cookies.
