Although it is a very soft cookie, I found them to be very bland and definately not very sweet. If you like a soft cookie with a lot of spicey flavor, this is not your cookies.

These turned out amazing! Very soft and flavorful. My whole house smelled wonderful as they baked. Just be sure to layer them with waxed or parchment paper when you store them or they will stick together.
