Great molasses cookie! This recipe made a gob of cookies...could easily be halved.

These are excellent cookies! I was looking for a recipe similar to the Nyaker's gingersnaps. These are soft and chewy, but have a very similar flavor. I made a half batch this time, but am already planning to make more for Christmas!

A half-batch yielded nearly three dozen tender, chewy, and very flavorsome cookies that my entire family really liked. I'll definitely be making these again ~ Thanks!

Absolutely perfect - little crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle. Very flavorful, but light. My daughter is doing a report on Christmas in Sweden & dressing as the eldest daughter on St. Lucia's Day and will serve these to her 2nd grade class. Thank you so much!

Nice recipe, thank you! Very good and chewy and they are still great a week later! My only problem was that the ginger seemed a little overpowering, but that may have been my fault, I was kind of in a rush when making them. A very pretty color but I warn you to not overbake them as I did on a few trays! Thanks again. These reminded me of gingersnaps.

Terrific flavor, awesome texture! I used parchment paper so didn't grease my pan or sugar the drops of dough. I also used a 3/4-inch cookie scoop. We got 140 cookies!!! Thank you! These are great! Update May 18, 2008: We have taken these to two different dinner parties and none were left, everyone loves them and wants the recipe! Thankyou! UPDATE: I can't make enough of these or eat enough of them!! Neither can my kids. This is our favorite!! Thanks.

Nice flavor, but not quite as spicy as I wanted. Might add some more ginger next time.

My husband's mother used to make a Swedish rolled pepparkakor cookie, and the flavor of these are much, much better. Delicate and crispy on the outside, scrumptious on the inside. Perfect to serve to friends with that cup of tea. The recipe is perfect as is, I made no changes.

These taste just like the pepparkakor my grandma used to make. I added a little extra cloves and ginger and a tiny bit of nutmeg. They turned out great.
