These are deliciously soft, chewy cookies. They are wonderful for Christmas plates and bake sales because they don't fall apart easily. Garnish with decorative pearls if desired.
6.28.17 I used a small 1” cookie scoop and ended up with 52 cookies which baked perfectly at 8 minutes. The texture of the cookie was soft and tender, very nice. If I were to make this recipe again, I’d probably add more ginger and maybe even more molasses, since I thought the ginger cookie flavor was weak. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the glaze AT ALL. If you want iced ginger cookies or even a drizzle on them as I did, I’d recommend you use orange juice because the orange extract was too strong and just tasted artificial, simply not good. I drizzled the glaze on a few cookies, tasted one, and threw away the rest of the glaze. These cookies were OK, but I doubt I’ll make them again. racahoon, sorry, wish I had a better review for you, but thanks for sharing your recipe.
