These were good, not great in my opinion. I'll be on the lookout for a better gingersnap recipe but this one will do in the meantime.

I made these for Christmas instead of my usual soft gingersnaps. They are delicious. I agree they could use just a bit more spice, maybe a little more clove.

these are delicious. I added some chopped candied ginger to give it even more snap.

Used butter instead of shortening and brown sugar in place of white sugar, then had to add about an extra 1/4 c. to 1/3 c. of flour to make them the rolling consistency. They were incredible! Loved, loved, loved them!

I love chewy cookies and these are great! I baked them for 9 min. The original recipe has the perfect blend of spices. Yummy!!!

These had a great flavor and my husband loved them. Next time, I'm not going to use all butter (serious flattening occurred!) and I'll probably use a little more flour for more substance. All in all, I'll make these again, but not for company until I get it right!

Very good recipe. I didn't have cloves, so I used all spice. turned out wonderful. I also liked rolling them into balls - no flattening, they come out as a nice domed cookie.

Very Good recipe! I baked the cookies for 9 minutes, didn't grease my cookie sheet and used medium cookie scoop! Excellent!

These were great! You had the cross taste of gingersnaps and oatmeal cookies. What a great combination. I will be making these again and again.
