These have a lovely texture (and taste good too)! I made half a recipe and after trying the first ones out opted to not roll any more in sugar.1Reply

Don't double this like it says, it makes a ton and I suspect it has already been doubled. Any more and the Kitchen Aid couldn't have mixed them. Just what I was looking for--very sweet, but very god and lovely crinkly tops.1Reply

I tried this recipe and it is like eating candy, way too much sugar.Reply

I have made these delicious, chewy cookies several times. Also love adding chopped crystalized ginger to the recipe. I am getting ready to make these again for Christmas. Thanks again Sharon.1Reply
