Outstanding! I made with 1/2 whole wheat flour and you couldn't tell the difference. Next time I will replace with all whole wheat. My new go to cookie!

Excellent - I made them twice so far. Second time I doubled the fresh ginger, 'cause I like spicy ginger taste (I also made and highly recommend Alton's Ginger Ale, which is really ginger beer (mildly alcoholic. I bake the cookies 15 minutes - I like them crispy. Also, buy a kitchen scale - you can get one for $20, and it will last you forever. I will continue to bake these cookies, rather than buying ginger snaps at a store - they are easy to make and really really good!

OMG! Totally addicting with a cup of tea or glass of milk. I made these exactly to recipe and they were thin (as should be, crunchy, and delightful. The triple ginger made these cookies sing. It was so surprising and pleasant to experience the zing of biting into a tidbit of grated or crystallized ginger. This recipe is now in my cookie repertoire forever. The only downside is that I could not convince people who have decided that they don't like ginger snaps because their only experience has been store bought ones, to try them. Which, come to think of it, is an upside. More for me!

So good! I followed the recipe exactly the first time, and decided I'd try them without the candied ginger the next go around. I also added a step by rolling the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking. So crispy and delicious! Remember to use fresh dried spices, because they will go "off" after time and either lose potency or become bitter.

Wow. These are the best cookies I have ever tasted. I brought some to a foodie neighbor the other night and she called me for the recipe the next day. That's just how great they can be. Alton brown is a genius in the kitchen.

Incredibly wonderful! Chewy, spicy, and with a great texture from the little bits of candied ginger. I used Alton's recipe for making candied ginger -- time-consuming, but absolutely yummy in this cookie recipe.

So amazing. I did not even add the fresh ginger, I used light brown sugar and used agave syrup in place of molasses and these were still sooo delicious. My new favorite cookie!
