These cookies were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more molasses next time. Otherwise, they were delicious and I loved the spices.

I had some trouble rolling out the dough. It was a little too sticky. I ended up adding some more flour and that helped. The cookies turned out great, though. They were so soft and chewy.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best gingerbread men cookies he's ever had. I think I'll try making them again with less ginger next time.
