I normally don’t really like gingerbread or any ginger-flavored cookies, so I was skeptical. These cookies don’t have such strong gingery flavor. Very chewy and buttery. They are good!
Fabulous cookies!! So rich, chewy and yummy. Pair with vanilla ice cream and it’s pure heaven!!
wow so may raving reviews i would love to try. Can someone help with the cup to gram conversion please? I get different answers from different sites (think it depends on whether its US or Imperial measurement) How many grams of flour in this recipe and also the butter in grams? Thanks!
Excellent cookies, oozing with warm holidays flavors. Super easy to make too. If you like Ginger and Molasses, you’ll love this cookie.
Wonderful cookies! They reminded me of my childhood Christmas celebrations. Just started baking and these are an inspiration to continue. I halved the brown sugar and omitted the candied ginger and raisins for my health. I added some grated fresh ginger and the cookies have a perfect snap and great spice flavor!
This is the best ginger cookie recipe I’ve tried. The flavor is a robust ginger with hints of the other spices. So delicious! I’m never making any other kind again.
Made these per the recipe. They were delicious and get even better the next day when they are crunchier. Initially, they seem like a soft batch cookie.
These little holiday cookies are a winner! I will make them again and again.
Oh my! These little cookies taste amazingly delicious! They are addictive! I love the little touch of heat from the ginger and the perfect balance of salty and sweet. It took me a while to find the candied ginger (called “crystallized ginger” in the spice section). The only negative I can find about these cookies is the price of the crystallized ginger. It cost $10 for not even a full half cup. Next time I may leave it out and substitute more raisins. Anyway, I will definitely make these again.
So very delicious rich ginger flavor soft and chewie
