I really enjoying baking these cookies. After dividing the dough and wrapping in wax paper I ended up baking 1/2 the first day and the 1/2 the next day. Didn't have any problems with the dough either day but the overnight chilled cookies had a smoother texture to them. I think I will chill the dough overnight when I make them again. Both batches were really, really good though and I found that the baking time was really the key to the success of it all. I tried from 8-10 minutes producing cookies from soft to crunchy and we seem to prefer the soft so pulled them out at 8 minutes, which made the texture just right. Thanks for the great recipe, we'll make more now to share with family & friends!

Great recipe, Love it, however a bit sticky. With this adjustment will get 5-star. All recipe can be made to fit you. What I did was used parchment or wax paper flatten dough on a 13x18 sheet pan, chilled, once chilled cut in half. Placed each half dough on 13x 18 sheet pan paper side up, remove paper, dust with flour in gently roll to fit pan, it is not neccessary for the dough to completely fit pan, pre bake 5 to 7 min. rotating pan, once pre baked you can than use your cookie cutter, place back on a different sheet pan to finish baking. Time will vary based on if you want crisp cookies of soft cookies, additional 3 to 5 min....Do not through alway scrapes, bake off crush to make topping or a gingerbread crust like graham cracker crust.

I think this overall turned out to be a good cookie. I can see how others would feel the dough was too sticky though. I halved the recipe and rolled out the dough in two pieces after chilling. I didnt find there to be any issue as long as I put down a new layer of flour on the work surface after each time, put the half of the dough i wasn't using in the fridge, always kept the rolling pin floured, and dipped the cookie cutters in flour in between cutting each cookie. I also just used a sharp wide knife to slide under and pick up the cookies. That way I didn't have to add any extra flour to the actual dough and they turned out perfect!

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread but these were delicious. I have a couple of friends who don't particularly care for gingerbread but loved these cookies.

These were the best gingerbread cookies ! The dough is really easy to handle after placing it in the fridge for a few minutes. Since my family is not big on citrus flavor we left out the orange zest and they were still delicious! They had a great texture, not too chewy and not to crisp. Perfect!
