These cookies are delicious served warm right from the oven! I usually make them around Christmastime or on cold snowy days here in the Midwest.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I'm allergic to molasses, so I substituted it with honey. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too chewy for my liking. I prefer a crispier cookie.

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

I'm not a big fan of molasses, but these cookies are actually really good. The molasses flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies are absolutely divine! The molasses flavor is perfectly balanced and the texture is soft and chewy. I added a little extra ginger and cinnamon to give them a bit of a kick, and they were even better than I expected.
