OMG! This is such a yummy cookie! This is a recipe that I will make again and again. My only modification was that I added a little more ginger. I like a spicy cookie. Again, yummy! I see why this was an award winning recipe.

Loved these! So very easy and got lots of compliments as part of the holiday tray! I had to make multiple batches already and have already emailed the recipe to other folks. Also a fun one to have the kids help with when it comes to rolling in the sugar. I used a small cookie scoop - like the ice cream scoop - and dropped them right in the sugar and had no problems with them sticking at all. just like the ginger snaps from childhood but chewy so even better!

I made these as part of a Christmas gift basket, and everyone loved them! I had to make a second batch for my husband! I still can't believe a cookie this good starts with a mix!
