This cookie is very good - I also tried dipping half the cookie into melted white chocolate candy wafers and then lay on cooling rack to dry! Very good and different!

Mine burned in 15 minutes, 10 was better. The smell alone is intoxicating. :) If you like Archway's Molasses cookies or ginger snaps you'll love these. A great spice cookie.

This is a great cookie and doesn't take a lot of time. Try dipping in Green and Red granulated sugar to give it that Christmas color.
