I actually registered to this site just so I could rate this recipe. These cookies are AMAZING! I've never made ginger cookies before and they turned out exactly as I'd wanted them to. I didn't change a single thing in this recipe and I had my friends RAVING about the cookies! This one is definitely being saved as a favorite recipe of mine.
