In reply to Cheryl Wilkins Krause. Sounds like something went wrong! These cookies should be very soft and stay soft for several days. And you can definitely add more ginger if you prefer a stronger flavor.

I made these as the cookie part of ice cream sandwiches. I selected the recipe because you need a soft cookie to make a good ice cream sandwich. Sadly these were not. I backed the baking time down to 8 minutes and they still didn’t come out soft. Also, that’s an incredibly small amount of ginger for a ginger cookie. Very little ginger taste. Won’t make again

My cookies spread quite a bit, (I think I needed to chill the dough) but even though they spread they tasted great and were still soft and chewy. I took them to work and I got lots of compliments. I’ll try chilling the dough next time to see if I can keep them from spreading.

I love these and have made them for a couple years now! Do you think I could freeze the dough?

These cookies are so yummy! I just made them for the first time, and they are a keeper! I did look thru the comments, did anyone resolve how to make them not so flat? I followed exact recipe, even using light colored cooking sheets, but disappointed that mine definitely don’t look like the picture! Anyone have suggestions? 2 tsp of baking soda is good, but should I use more? Chill dough?

Wonderful taste, everyone loved them! I did have to add another 1-2 minutes to the baking time for my old oven which I don’t think is terribly accurate anymore. Just beware that you may need to play just a bit with timing as ovens can be so individual. Mine were slightly more flat but stayed soft on the inside with just a tiny bit of crispiness to the outside. Absolutely perfect and kept very well for a week.

Thanks for this wonderful recipe that I can’t wait to make again!
