The spice combination is excellent. As the poster mentions, baking can be a little tricky. Well, I was using a new oven, so got one batch a bit overdone. Will be more careful in the future. The dough was quite sticky, and I think it will be a good argument for the purchase of a set of cookie scoops. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely recipe with us. -
Excellent 'snaps! Turned out perfectly in texture, flavor, and appearance. Thank you for sharing! -
This is the recipe I've been searching for. I've tried a lot of them and this is the closest to the ones that I like at the grocery store. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe. My kids loved them and I used them for this recipe#258760 and together they are fabulous but the cookie on it's own is just delightful. Thanks for sharing! -
Great cookies! They have just enough spice to make them taste wonderful, so wonderful in fact that if I had not made them myself I would have mistaken them for my favorite spiced wafers ftom the food store. ^_^ I would definately make them again, but I would probably use just a tad less butter, perhaps just 1 stick. -
Very nice and flavorful cookie. I made these for Christmas and my DS could not stop eating them. On her way home she stopped and got all that I had left. I gave her the recipe with them. She was so very happy. Thanks for posting.
