Great little cookie!! sfarrell1007, your addition of candied ginger is out of this world!!! Graminmaine, why don't you sub applesauce or oil for the Crisco and chill your dough? Worth a try. Think Imight use brown sugar instead of white. Thanks for all the great reviews and suggestions.

Thank you Sherry Harke for sharing this wonderful treat with the rest of us. My kitchen smelled like ginger and cookies and "YES COLLEEN" like Christmas. If you have not try'd it and got a warm and fuzzy feeling of Christmas, dont humbug the rest of us, keep it to your self. A merry Christmas to the rest of you all out there. I'm having me some of those cookies and a warm glass of milk looking at my tree all lit up.

Pretty good recipe. Think i will increase the ginger a bit, maybe even add some cinnamon. Easy to make.

Yummy! Great to have a recipe where all of the ingredients are already in my pantry, so it can be made without a trip to the store for specialty ingredients. I used a cookie stamp instead of the bottom of a glass to press down the cookie. The cookies will spread, but the impression from the stamp was still visible. Use a tree, bell, or ornament stamp to make them extra "Christmasy". Smell reminds me of fresh baked gingerbread. What could be better for Christmas than the smell of a gingerbread house, but you get to eat it right away!?!

These were so easy to make even my 14 yr old made them on her own. They are simply delish! This recipe will go into my favourites that is certain.

Super Cookie Recipe. I already put it in the family cookbook I am putting together. I made them today after I made some minor adjustments for high altitude(we live at 9000'). I added red, green, and white sprinkles to make them Christmasy.Great taste, smell, texture and appearance and made the house smell wonderful.

I loved the texture and taste of these cookies. I added some finely chopped candied ginger for added zing. It was excellent! I love ginger cookies at Christmas! Nothing like that spicy aroma to make your house smell like the Holidays! Also, you can mix a bit of gold metallic powder in with the sugar that you roll the balls in to make them glittery and more festive!
