These cookies are dee-licious! I baked them for a friend who is a diabetic, so I substituted Splendor for the sugar. I also took the advice from a couple of other reviews and decrease the amount of ginger to 1 teaspoon and increased the flour to 2 1/4 cups. I also flatten them out a little before putting them in the oven. The came out looking just like the picture. They melted in my mouth!!

Apparently I did something wrong when I mixed these because they looked nothing like the picture, barely tasted the ginger & the texture was questionable. My biggest complaint is the handling of the dough to shape the balls. The dough was so soft & sticky that I chilled it for almost 2 hours before attempting to handle it, the easy handling lasted less than a half pan made. I will not be making these again. I have a much better recipe from another cooking source that I will do the next time.

These cookies are delicious, especially in the fall and winter seasons when I crave the spices! I'm usually super picky with ginger cookies, because I find that they are usually too crunchy, but these are perfectly chewy! My only suggestion would be a little more ginger because I tasted mostly cloves and molasses. Also, when the cookies were done I sprinkled a little more sugar on them.
