    Tasted great (rave reviews from family!) but spread into a chocolate lake that required frantic reshaping mid-bake.

• My ginger cookies

    Best ginger cookies ever! The triple ginger packs a punch, just perfect. I like the option of baking them soft or crisp -with a snap. No mixer, the use of melted butter make assembly a “snap”. I’ve made these many times, always a favorite.

    Definitely a cookie for ginger lovers - mine were spicy-hot from all the ginger! I baked mine for the lower end of the range of suggested times and the texture was super - moist and chewy. I used blackstrap molasses, though the recipe advises against it, because I had it on hand and the flavor was still great. Although I love ginger, I might try the less-ginger variation next time (though it'll be interesting to see how the flavor changes during storage). I think my all time favorite molasses-spice cookie recipe is still Cook's Illustrated's Soft and Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies - they're even richer (more butter!) and ginger is just one of several spices vs. the primary flavor.

    One of the best cookies I've made. I use treacle instead of molasses, works great.
