I would not recommend this recipe. The cookies are bland and tasteless.

These gingerbread cookies are just okay. They're not as flavorful as I was hoping.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These gingerbread cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of ginger next time.

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cookies are soft and chewy, with just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've tried many gingerbread recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly spiced and have a lovely chewy texture. I also love the addition of molasses, which gives them a rich, deep flavor.
