Only good if you like bitter coffee flavors. Every one thought they were espresso cookies. These did not fly off the plate. Read More

Very good and tasty. This is the best recipe for gingerbread cookies I've seen so far. Substituted dark corn syrup for molasses and used cookie cutters to make gingerbread men. Will make again. Read More

I was a bit nervous about these because of the strong scent of molasses. My nephews were the first to try them and loved them. Kids are the best critics:-) I will most certainly make these again next year. Read More

These are nice cookies if you like real gingerbread. My picky husband who requested gingerbread cookies did not really like these he said they were too strong and sweet. I said that's what gingerbread is! I would probably not make these again due to my families preference but this is a good recipe give it a try! Read More
