I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out right. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies are a bit bland. I think I would add some spices next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

I had a hard time finding molasses, so I used brown sugar instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I've tried a lot of molasses cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
