Not that this recipe needs anymore rave reviews, but can't help adding my kudos for a great cookie. These are really moist and chewy, makes alot and are perfect especially at the holidays! My family loves them!

These turned out beautifully! My husband loves them! I added a tsp of vanilla, otherwise I wouldn't change a thing! Oh yeah, I took advise of one of the other reviewers and chopped up some candied ginger in them as well, perfect!

There is a reason why there are so many FIVE star ratings on these....fast, easy, foolproof, tasty. If it doesn't fit all those criteria, it's not a cookie I make. Also like that you can break up the task into two days--make batter one day, chill overnight, proceed the next day. I used Spectrum "transfat free" vegetable shortening b/c my granddaughter is allergic to dairy butter. I followed the recipe to a "T" just cutting back a little on the cloves. With the strong flavor of the spices, you don't miss the butter. I wouldn't change another thing. There's a batch in the oven right now.

Delicious, simple cookie! I used 1 cup shortening and 1/2 cup of butter. There is no greasy taste. I only refrigerated the dough for an hour. Because I have soft and crisp cookie lovers in the house, the first batch was baked exactly 8 minutes for a soft chewy cookie. The second batch was baked for 10 minutes which made for a crispier cookie. For the spices, I used a Saigon cinnamon and allspice instead of cloves. These cookies just need a couple of minutes to cool when coming out of the oven and they are ready to go! (Even kids like them!)
