    I'm wondering if maybe the recipe should include a little baking soda & salt? I added some, plus a little vanilla & some crystallized ginger pieces & raisins. They were gone in 2 days. - 2/2/09

    I used less spice than the recipe called for and now that some time has gone by I'm glad that I did. I originally thought it was a mistake-but the cookies "developed" as cookies do and were really delicious-thanks for a wonderful recipe. - 3/14/09

    These were wonderful! Everyone loved them! Be careful to not bake them too much, though, because they burn easily. - 12/24/08

    YUMMY! Doesn't have to be Christmas to ENJOY these! Makes 24-48. Makes balls very small for 48. Bake 10-14 min. Use fork to 'do' criss-cross 'mash' on top before baking. - 1/29/09

    Good. I tried them and the cookies were soft but I thought the recipe was missing something. I had to make the cookies very small in order to get 48 of them. No wonder it is only 50 calories each. Smile. - 3/3/09

    Made these last night and they turned out great. They didn't crack on top as stated and the ones on the bottom rack got a lil burnt. Probably just my baking abilities and not the recipe. Next time I'll cook them for less time than shown above. My co-workers all loved them too :) - 12/24/08

    This is very similar to the recipe I have used for years. Will definitely use whole wheat flour the next time. Also, after reading the comments, I'm wondering if the total amount of flour should be reduced to 2 cups. - 12/13/08

    These tasted pretty good, although mine didn't crack on the top like it said they would. You will have to make the balls really, really small in order to get 48 out of the dough. - 12/15/07

    I had to cook mine for 14 min, and they stayed really round (didn't flatten into cookie shape) since I rolled them into balls like the recipe states - but they tasted yummy! - 12/24/07

    they were very good. almost got 4 out of them. *Note I bake all of my cookies @ 325 for 15-(17) minutes. Less chance of burning them, and the come out great. I think I will increase the cinnamon though. But THANK YOU! ;) - 1/26/10

    These are fantastic! I didn't use all of the flour or all the sugar and cinnamon mixture. I also just gave them a little push down before baking and they turned out perfect!! - 11/29/09

    Very good, but my results were 24 cookies, so I assumed that I ate two at a time. ;-)) - 12/25/08

    Has anyone tried these using splenda brown sugar blend and all whole wheat flour? That would cut a few calories and add alittle more fiber. They sound yummy! - 3/3/09

    This recipe turned out great! I added 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda to recipe. I used 1c of brown sugar instead of 3/4. I was able to get 24 cookies because I didn;t want them to small. The first batch did not flatten so the last batch I flatted with a wet spoon and it turned out perfect...

    Not everyone in our family likes ginger cookies, but I do. They are nutritious, but no one mentions how Ginger cookies are supposed to be great for you to have in the car for trips to help when someone starts getting car sick. Then you can enjoy your trip feeling well. Thank You! - 12/7/09
