I wish I had taken a picture, but all of these have been long gone. I made these for a cookie tray at the holidays and it was a nice choice in between fudges and fruitcakes. Mine were more crispy than chewy, but at our house a cup of tea after dinner is a must, and these go perfectly with a hot drink! I will be making these again! Thanks.

OMG, these are perfect -- just the right amount of spice and a great texture. I replaced the butter with butter flavored Crisco and used EnerG egg replacer for the eggs. I used a 1T. cookie scoop to form them and got about 70 cookies which I baked only 10 minutes and they are amazing - a lightly crisp exterior with a nice chewy interior. Delightful!
