  1. What a great recipe! These are wonderful "dunkers" in a cup of tea. Thanks for posting. PS I did scorch the first pan a bit but that was my fault not the recipe's =)
     
  2. Great recipe - even our Finnish friends enjoyed it at our Boxing Day dinner (reminds them of home). However, it'd do with a little more ginger- next time I try this, it'd be with 2 or more tablespoon of ginger. Yums!
     
  3. i made these cookies for a project at school this week and they where the worst cookies ever! i usually will eat anything gingerbread but i couldnt eat these without gagging. i dont know if it was me or the recipe though so maybe youll like them
     
  4. These were good they had a nice flavor that I would expect of gingersnaps, I just wish they were softer and chewier, otherwise a very good recipe. And I think better for shaped cookies. Thanks for sharing!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
