These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but these cookies are really good. They're not too spicy and they have a great molasses flavor.

The cookies didn't turn out as soft as I hoped. I think I overbaked them.

I've tried many gingerbread recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of spice. They're also really easy to decorate.
