Family LOVES it I definitely take the baking soda down by 1/2 – 1 tsp though and increase the ginger by heaping the tbsp :) just my personal taste preference. Everyone who’s had one of these cookies has asked for your recipe! It’s perfection

In reply to Rosie. You need to let the dough chill after you roll them into balls with the sugar.

Made these exactly as directed and they are phenomenal. I don’t usually leave reviews and comments but this deserves praise. Great recipe.

Hello,
I made this recipe yesterday and was very careful about the ingredients. They flattened out like pancakes. They are OK still, but what I want to know is…

have you figured out what should be done differently to avoid this? There were obviously no crackles, either when they flattened. I’m giving them to someone, and the photos look soo good. Now they look weird, but they do taste good.

Truly THE MOST DELICIOUS ginger cookie recipe. Texture is perfect. My kid that doesn’t like ginger cookies loved these. Thanks for a great recipe that will forever be in my rotation at Christmas!

Can I make the dough ahead of time? Leave on the fridge for a couple of days before cooking? Trying to prep a few days prior to the holidays :)

I typically don’t leave reviews. But these cookies are worth it. I make them every year at Christmas and people always ask for more. They are perfectly soft and chewy, with a little crunch on the edges. Perfection!

In reply to Zahava.

The recipe itself creates the perfect texture and chewiness! I double the ginger and add an extra teaspoon of cinnamon because I like them spicier too. But the actual texture and overall flavour of just the original recipe creates almost a perfect ginger molasses cookie! Just adjust the spices to your taste and try it again, you won’t be disappointed. Make sure the dough is well chilled as well, I leave my overnight so all the flavour sets in and the cookies bake perfectly!
