These cookies are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of molasses cookies, but these were surprisingly good. The honey and ginger really balance out the molasses flavor. I would definitely make these again.

These cookies are absolutely divine! The molasses, honey, and ginger blend together perfectly to create a warm and comforting flavor. They're soft and chewy, with a slight crispiness around the edges. I highly recommend trying this recipe!
