At first when these came out of the oven I thought, "meh"... but after a while, after they sat out for a while and cooled, what an improvement... mmmm! I reduced the sugar amount after reading fellow reviews and I think I found a happy medium. Thanks, these are great!

I wrote a previous review on these cookies only giving them 2 stars because I found them to be extremely sweet and sugary for my taste. Then I fed them to the guys at work and after seeing their reactions I had to re-review this recipe. People who like sugar, molasses and chewy cookies will love this recipe. I also still agree, they would be lovely with ice cream in the middle. Thanks!

I was even kind of surprised at how good these are! I replaced the white flour with whole wheat pastry and used 1 whole egg intead of whites. BF loves these! He likes flat cookies, which these, admittedly, are. They're incredibly tender and chewy and have nice light gingery flavor, that is wonderfully accented by the applesauce. I can imagine how these would be really good for ice cream sandwiches... actually, Trader Joe's sells a fresh ginger gelato that I'm sure would be TDF with these. I can't really tell you how many this makes- they got eaten too quickly as they came off the rack. One thing, though- with a lot of cookie recipes you need to slightly undercook the cookies to ensure they are chewy. Don't do that with these. They will just be undercooked. Cook these until they're firm and they'll still be chewy. Thanks for a great healthy cookie recipe, ladypit! We love them!

These are really good. I've never had a soft ginger cookie before so this was a first. A good first I must say. I am going to use some of them to make sandwich cookies with Ginger Cheese by Sharon123 #53255. I think it'll be great. Thanks!
