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

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

I saw this on pinterest, and was STUNNED to see name. I am honored that they were on a featured list. I had only submitted the recipe for the nutritional data. They are great year round, I often make ginger cookies in spring. You can still see my photo of 8 appropriately sized cookies on a plate.

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

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

Yes, they are quite small, a very appropriately sized treat. The photo I submitted with the recipe shows this quite clearly, 8 cookies on a dinner plate.
