12/27/2012A definite keeper for holidays or anytime. Crystallized ginger makes these extra special. (I used Ginger People brand, available at Whole Foods). I baked one batch for less time and got a softer cookie, and I let another batch get fairly brown, resulting in a crisp ginger snap. Both versions great, though I prefer the crispy. Using the small ice cream scoop as suggested made these cookies nice and uniform, perfect for gift giving.

10/1/2012These are quick, easy, & delicious! I did use some light brown sugar with the granulated sugar. I didn't have any candied ginger on hand but they were still tasty and I imagine even better with the ginger. Next time I think I will partially dip them in dark chocolate for holiday gifts.

3/9/2012I stuck to the recipe exactly the first time I made these and they were awesome! My father, a ginger connoisseur, said they were just like the ones you get at the store. I made them a second time with molasses AND maple syrup and they were even better!

12/31/2011EXCELLENT! These are really good, not too sweet. Perfect texture and great instructions.
I use white whole wheat flour which was good. Also, freezing the ginger for a few minutes and keeping the knife clean & cold, and chopping in small batches makes the ginger easier to handle.

12/6/2011These are simple to make and oh so delicious! Best ginger cookies ever! I love that they soft for a few days. I bake things for friends and family for Christmas and these are so getting included this year.

8/23/2011These are the BEST ginger cookies ever!! I use a soft diced crystallized ginger from KA flour company in the place of the crystallized dry ginger and the results have always been exceptional. I would recommend this to everyone. Makes great cookie gifts at the Holidays.

12/28/2009Easy and delicious! The perfect dessert. Next time, I'm going to try dipping half of each cookie in semi-sweet chocolate as a new variation.

3/13/2008Excellent cookies and easy to make. Not a huge fan of ginger? Omit the crystallized ginger and add 1 Tbsp of Cinnamon and 1/2 Tsp of Allspice for Spice Crackles. I have made this change a dozen times with great success!

12/23/2007These cookies are amazing. They are moist and chewy, with a delicious ginger and butter taste. I have made these many times, since they are so easy and fabulous. They always get raves!

12/18/2007These are fantastic. I made about six types of cookies for a party, and these were the surprise favorites - incredible gingery flavor, great texture. People loved them and gobbled them down.

10/21/2007I absolutely love these cookies. I always make sure not too bake them too long so they stay nice and chewy.

10/10/2007These are fantastic! Chewy and intensely gingery. The crystallized ginger makes all the difference.
