7 Reviews of Soft Ginger Cookies

Very nice cookie. Looks great with the cracked top and sugar coating. I used an unprocessed organic sugar I had on hand for more crunch and texture on the outside. Make sure you don't overbake ( 10 minutes was a little too long) or the cookie will get dry. 8 to 9 minutes tops worked great for me. Thank you for the great recipe Cookin-jo!

Delicious! I made these after seeing your photo on the home page. I love these types of cookies. I added no extra flour , just what the recipe called for. I also didn't roll them with my hands though. I used my cookie scoop , dropped the scoop into a bowl of "Sugar In The Raw" (personal preference, I like the larger grains for the cookies) and rolled it around like that. Baked each pan for 9 minutes. Heaven!!! Thanks so much for posting!

these were great! the first time i made them the flour worked out perfect.. almost too much since i had to flatten the cookies but the second time i had to add quite a bit (i think it was the humidity in the air) and i used whole wheat flour and added some vanilla and put a full tsp of cinnamon in it. i always add a dash of red pepper to my ginger cookies to give them a kick. these were gone in a flash! thanks for a keeper that i will make a gain for sure.

I chose this recipe make because I cannot seem to locate my mother-in-law's recipe for soft Swedish ginger cookies. I am so thankful I found this recipe because I think they are identical. I know they are very soft and flavorful! My family loves them. I made a double batch; some for my family and the rest to take to a spaghetti dinner tomorrow at my church! Thanks for posting, Cookin-jo!

Wow these are great! I made them in about 15 minutes, very easy. Added about 1/4 cup of crystallized ginger. SO good. Fun for the kids to roll the dough balls in sugar! Thanks!

My kids loved these cookies! The only suggestion I would have is to put the dough in the frig for about 15 minutes to make it easier to form balls. It's a definite keeper!

GREAT recipe! This recipe turned out perfect for me. I added the dash of red pepper too, and that worked well. I served these cookies with icecream and the Mexican Chocolate syrup. Fantastico!
