A good chewy cookie; however, I did make some changes. After dropping on the sheets, I flattened them with a glass dipped in sugar and also added an additional cup of flour to the dough. Next time I'd like to try a little more spice (perhaps cloves?) or maybe chocolate chips to see how they taste. Overall, I do like them and my children enjoyed them, which is rare for them when no chocolate chips are involved! LOL
