This was my first attempt at gingerbread cookies and I am so excited at the results. Tasty cookies, right texture and taste. Kids are loving the cookies and I didn't even add the icing. I just sprinkled a little confectioners sugar over them.

This was my first gingerbread cookie and it came out flawless! The taste is delish! My kids are hard judges and they gobble these up! My other hard judge AKA the husband thought these were DELISH. The frosting was fun too. They made my cookies gorgeous. Looked professional.
I actually let the dough sit overnight and made in two separate batches on two diff nights. The outcome was perfect. Same for the frosting. They just get better the longer they sit!
Will be making these often! Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe was great! I followed some reviews and bumped up my cinnamon and ginger to 1 tsp. It was easy and tastes great. My fussy daughter ate 2 cookies while decorating. Just give yourself time to let dough sit for 3 hours, cookies to cool, and to decorate. I made different sizes and for a big gingerbread man, I did 5 minutes on top and bottom (and flipped and for smaller men, I did 4 minutes. We are not great bakers and this was no fail. Thank you.

without a doubt the best gingerbread cookies I've eaten or made. The dough was a bit more sticky then I was expecting and I used a different icing recipe (it's not like they need icing but seriously I retired my grandmother's recipe after making these.

This recipe is amazing. I made these cookies for my German class, keep in my mind that these are 15/16 year-olds, and loved it. By the end of the period there was none left. When making them I was a bit worried with the black pepper but you need it to give it that little kick. Also I saw some comments saying it was impossible to roll out but it was very easy. All you needed to do was a good amount of flour. All in all, it was amazing and I highly recommend it.

I've made these twice now and my family loves them. They were good the first time, but I was a little more heavy handed with the spices and rolled the dough a little thicker the second time and personally think they came out even better. I did not make the icing either time, but am going to attempt it on round three. This is now my go-to recipe for Gingerbread cookies.

Just made this recipe with my 9-year old. Considering she did all the measuring (not exact, the mixing (not thorough and the fact that I substituted BUTTER for the shortening, subsituted MAPLE SYRUP for molasses, and generally did not obsess about getting the recipe "perfect," these cookies came out delicious. I did bake the cookies half of the time in the middle rack and half of the time on the top rack, and frankly, I think doing that is what separates this recipe from others. The cookies are slighlty crisp on the outside but still soft inside...delicious. Also, they taste great without frosting (oh, I also cut the sugar by half and it's sweet enough. We pressed sprinkles into the raw shapes before baking - a lazy way to add a little something special. This recipe is a keeper.

This is an awesome and authentic Gingerbread Cookie that is delicious too. I've had many gingerbread cookies that I didn't care for. I had a very intricate cookie cutter that required me to add one extra cup of flour to the dough for it to hold it's shape.(10 Lords a Leaping But if you're making basic cut out gingerbread men or other shapes, it will most likely work just fine as is. Don't let the pepper scare you! (like it did me. l This is a 5 star recipe without a doubt and I will look no further for a gingerbread cookie recipe. I found the ONE! Thank you Rick!!

Tasty and chewy. I did not refrigerate. I just rolled into 1" balls and flattened with the bottom of a sugar coated glass cup. Cooked 350 for 8 minutes. Everyone loved it, even my son who is not a big cookie fan.

This is my favorite Christmas cookie. No, this is my favorite cookie. I've started making them as early as Halloween and as late as Valentines' Day. Confession: I've never taken the time to frost them. Thank you!
