Chewy Gingerbread Cookies image

These are easy to make chewy gingerbread cookies. They taste just like Christmas with their touch of molasses and a perfect blend of spices. The batter is soft, but don't be dismayed. Just gently roll the balls and dip into the white sugar. Pop them in the oven and in minutes you have the perfect treat for the holidays.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think next time I'll add a little more butter.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

The cookies were easy to make, but they didn't spread out as much as I thought they would. They were also a little too crumbly.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. They were also a bit dry.
