Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is a soft, chewy cookie that has a warm spice flavor. If you are the type of person that bakes from the ingredients list rather than the recipe steps, please note that the granulated sugar is divided between the cookie dough and rolling the formed dough balls into prior to baking. The recipe states to line the sheet pan with foil rather than parchment paper. Since I had been baking several different batches of cookies, I tried it with the parchment from the previous batch. While lifting the sheet pan to bang the cookies, the parchment paper slid on the pan pushing the cookies into the lip of the pan. So foil is definitely a good idea. As other bakers stated, these cookies are HUGE! The diameter of the baked cookies are slightly larger than 5 inches. This is a good recipe, but I prefer the Ginger Cookie recipe in The Classics section of this cookbook because they are a smaller, thicker cookie.

    First of all, these are great. This recipe really delivers. HOWEVER, before you get the dumb idea of making several dozen of these for a cookie exchange, you need to know that these are gigantic and require 1/4 a cup of dough per cookie. So, to follow the recipe, you can only put 3 cookies in the oven at a time. I thought I would cheat and add two pans at a time, with the result of having burned and fat (rather than flat) cookies. Plan to only bake with one pan in the middle of the oven at a time or you might as well not even do it.

    I love Sarah Kieffer's pan-banging cookies. They are ginormous, yes, but worth it. They end up being fairly chewy but tender, which is my favorite cookie texture. These tasted like the holidays in cookie form. I'd make these for any ginger molasses cookie lovers.

    HUGE cookies! Instructions were very clear, and got crunchy edges and a chewy middle. Not super gingery - might add a touch more ground ginger next batch.
