I followed the tips listed in other people's reviews and these turned out delicious!!! I was in a bit of a rush so I didn't have the time to make the icing (no time to wait for it to cool, etc), so I used a container of cream cheese icing, perfect!! I will totally be using this recipe again next fall!

I'm not even done making these yet - still in the baking process - but so far I'm having to force myself not to consume them as they roll out. So fluffy and delicious. I used half regular flour and half whole wheat, and earth balance spread instead of shortening. So good. They could use a little more spice, but that's easily remedied next time - and there will be a next time.

These cookies were a hit at the holiday potluck, everyone loved them! The cookies were just like little cakes, and easy to make. The cookie by itself I would say was a bit plain and could've used a bit more spice; the frosting was way too sugary for my tastes, but combined together they made one heck of a scrumptious cookie!!!!
