    This is basically a good recipe, but who would grease it up and make it more unhealthy by using vegetable shortening? I'm a southern girl, but we use butter. Or lard..., but that's another story.
    I chopped up candied ginger and added a quart tsp ground ancho chili pepper. Much more interesting, and very very good.

    I am typically not an exceptional baker and these cookies were still DELICIOUS. I just made them and have already eaten three.

    These cookies were moist, chewy and delicious (especially just a few minutes after being pulled out of the oven. I would make a double batch next time.

    This cookie is so good. I can't stop eating them! I made them with my 7 year old son and he is so proud of his cookies. They were very easy to make. We rolled them in turbinado sugar (Sugar In The Raw which gives them a slightly crunchy texture on the outside, They are perfectly chewy on the inside. Next time we will double the recipe and the spices.

    These ginger cookies are amazing--the best I've ever had. My mom's friend made them and I told her I loved them, so she was nice enough to send me the recipe, crediting them to Paula Deen. I made them two weeks ago on a Saturday, doubling the recipe, and probably ate 1 1/2 dozen of them by Monday. I then took the remainder to work to save myself from having to go on a diet. I got to work at 8:30 and the rest of the cookies were gone by 11 am. Everyone at work loved them! I definitely will make these cookies again and again!

    This was a great cookie! I was surprised because I had no shortening so I used butter instead. The only problem was I couldn't really taste the spices as much as I would have liked. Next time I think I will double the cinnamon and ginger. The texture was amazing and all in all a great treat! Thanks Paula

    Was dying for something sweet and found Paula's recipe. It turned out perfectly. Cookies were delicious and recipe couldn't be simpler.

    I was craving ginger cookies and paying $1.50 per cookie at a local coffee spot in Bozeman, Montana. Then I decided to make some and googled ginger cookie recipe. There were a lot of them listed but I picked Paula Deen's because I enjoy her show.
    These were easy to make and very tasty. On the crisp side, which I like. I took a platter to a meeting to which I was going and they were enthusiastically praised. Taking the suggestion from other reviewers, I doubled the cinnamon and ginger and put them in the oven as balls (didn't bother with pressing then down. They came out perfect.

    When I was little, visiting my grandmother meant that there were always ginger snaps in her cookie jar. Just mixing the batter brought back wonderful memories. The only thing I did the 2nd time I made these was cut the clove down to 1/4 tsp., it's a really strong spice! But other than that, these are heavenly.
