“I have been making this recipe for about 10 year now - absolutely the best gingerbread. Make the recipe as is - I have tried minor alterations throughout the years, and nothing is as good as the original. Also note, 3/4 cup molasses is half of a 12 oz jar. ” — a cook, 5.0★
“I rarely leave reviews but here I am. I LOVE this recipe! I, too, love a soft and chewy cookie, which is why I have always stayed away from traditional gingerbread recipes. These are delightful. Loads of flavor, soft, chewy … I can’t say enough. Thank you so m” — a cook, 5.0★
