Too good! It's really difficult to stop eat them!<br/>Also the dough was delicious, he, he!<br/>To the recipe I added 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger and I replaced the mollasses half with caramel and halg with apple jelly.<br/>I'm really glad I prepared the double amount. <br/>Thanks a lot for this winner!

Mine didn't flatten out but that sure didn't hurt the final outcome of the taste. Really good ginger cookies. The inside is soft with a firm outside. As awalde says, it's hard to stop eating them! I used Splenda for the sugar in the cookies and sparkling sugar a the decoration. Photo may be seen here (in Savor): http://feastyoureyes.smugmug.com/
