Made these today and they will now be my go-to gingerbread recipe. I liked how this recipe is a bit lighter than other gingerbread recipes. Not quite so heavy on the molasses. Great texture and flavor!

This were so good! They will be on my list for Christmas for sure this year. The only thing I did different was I substituted real maple syrup for the molasses only because I did not have any on hand and they turned out delicious.

Love this recipe. This is our second year making these and they are delicious. Super easy and nice and soft. The kids have a blast decorating them.

Not only did these turn out great, they taste great and were so much fun getting my grandson and daughter to help decorate.

I lost my old gingerbread recipe that we loved made for more than 40 years. I found this one and tried it, not expecting it to be as good. It's BETTER! The dough is much easier to work with than my old recipe, and the cookies are delicious. I made a double batch, with more than 70 cookies that are bigger than 4". I hope to make these for the next 40 years!
