these are good the longer they sit the better they taste. Very cakey texture and I enjoyed the flavour not overly sweet which is nice. Thanks for the recipe Read More

The submitter said the dough should be sticky so I wasn't concerned by it's little too wet appearance. Unfortunately my first batch was flat and shiny. I added 1/4-1/3 cup more flour and the next batch was much much better. Also my cookies took about 20 minutes per batch to bake! I also found the flavor weird too many tastes competing is it chocolate is it molasses etc? My husband just said they were ok so after all that work I doubt I'll make again. Read More

Oh my Gosh... I am 45 years old. My Grandmother used to make these cookies when I was little (they were my favorite) Unfortunately when she passed away the recipe died with her. Finally after all these years thanks to you I have found the recipe and made some today. They taste exactly the way Grandma's used to. Now I can pass these on to my children. Again many thanks!!!!

(3) I made these for my father in law who wanted to recreate his mom's recipie. They turned out perfect! I used Splenda in place of the sugar. Of course it didn't cream real well and I thought they were ruined. But as soon as I added the flour they were fine. Also I did not have ground cloves so I ground whole cloves in a coffee grinder. This made the clove flavor a little strong. I'll just use a little less next time. They have a great soft chewy texter and hold their shape when they cook. I didn't even bother with the frosting since they were very good without. Great recipie. Read More

(1) Unfortunately this is not what I was looking for. I was expecting a spicy sweet cookie however my friend and I did not find the cookie to be spicy or sweet. We were also rather disappointed in the texture which was very spongy. If you are looking for a cookie that is not very sweet this may be something you would like. Read More
