    Very good recipe. The cookies are delicious. The reason I put 4 stars is because the royal icing hardens, and I don`t like icing crunchy. I would have liked to be told that in the episode. Sorry, Sandra!

    These were great. I hate when gingerbread is too crunchy; these were nice and moist. The icing had a good consistency, although I added a little bit more lemon juice to give it a better taste. I had to stop myself from eating too many before I gave them away. They also travel well too. I will definitely be making these again next Christmas.

    I wanted something for my kids to make on Christmas Eve. This was so simple and delicious. The cookies almost didn't last for Santa.
    They were sturdy enough to decorate, but weren't crispy, very moist.
    I'll never make them from scratch again!

    My 12 year old daughter wanted to make some gingerbread cookies for Christmas, and I looked for a recipe that would not be too complicated for her. I'm not normally a big fan of gingerbread cookies, but these are the best I've ever eaten. Most gingerbread cookies I've tasted are too hard, but these were so soft, and really, really good.

    No offense, but I usually dislike her recipes, but this was wonderful. I followed as described and ended up with 20 perfect cookies for decorating. My husband is a self-proclaimed gingerbread afficionado and he thought they were excellent. Crisp outside with a soft interior. Firm enough to decorate. I did not use her royal icing as I have another I like. Try this. It is really easy and worth it. Just do make sure to let it rest in the fridge until firm.

    These cookies were absolutely delicious! My entire family has been scarfing these down. They were easy to make, but the only thing I did was lessen the amount of pumpkin spice by 1/2 tablespoon because I thought it sounds like a bit too much. With that being said, this is my new favorite cookie for the holidays!

So I put it back in the fridge now i have to wait some more, But why is it not working for me.. Any ideas for me HELP. I wanted to really use this but not. Sandra help it looked easy the way you did it.

    I have searched for several years for a flavorful (spicy but sweet gingerbread cookie, that is moist...and THIS IS IT! I am usually one of those bakers that does everything from scratch, but I thought I'd give this a try! The cookies turned out wonderfully. I doubled the batch, added an extra egg white, probably about 1/4 cup more flour, and a tablespoon more of pumpkin spice. I am so pleased with how they turned out. The dough was pretty stick ( assume from my extra egg white, but when I was rolling, I just used lots of dusting flour and it worked fine. I am saving the frosting for tomorrow, but they are good enough without that I only plan to do a little bit! Thanks Sandra!
