I halved this recipe and made it yesterday, kept it overnight and served it with tea today. It was the most beautiful cookie I have ever made - it had this professional appearance that everyone went crazy about. I used margarine instead of butter and almonds instead of hazelnuts. I had forgotten to toast the almonds, but, no regrets really, because these were really tasty and good as they were. These are my FIRST ever ginger cookies and I shall always hold the recipe and memory of making this in my heart, forever.... Before baking this, I did not grease my baking dish as there was no mention in the recipe, as to whether to grease the dish or not. The cookies stuck a bit to the base of the baking dish and I guess, next time, I will grease the baking dish lightly. I baked these for 20 minutes at 200C (400F). They are truly wonderful cookies and I sincerely hope you receive many many good reviews for this recipe. Thanks, again, and again, Auntie Di, for sharing!

I made 3 dozen cookies with this recipe (my log probably was too fat!). I found that I had to adjust the time to 9 minutes, and the temperature to 350 - 375. The first batch that I did at 400 for 10 mins got a little to crispy for my taste, but they won't go to waste as they are excellent dipped in coffee!
