Substituted freshly ground whole wheat flour for the white flour in equal amount, also added 1 Tablespoon of dough enhancer. Used cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. My 5 year old approved: "just good cookies.

Very soft

by A. Amy , Plano, TX on Jan. 2011

These cookies have a cakelike texture. If you like that kind of cookie, then you will love this recipe. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg and they came out nice. I think next time I will add a touch more nutmeg.

MMMMMMM

I made these cookies for my son who has food allergies. Even with an egg substitute they turned out delicious. Definitely a new family favorite, and so easy, the kids helped make them.

yum, yum!!!

The greatest cookies!

by R. Ravn , on Feb. 2010

These are the most delicious cookies I have ever eaten. They are incredibly simple, quick, and easy to make and they remain soft after cooking. I prefer to make them with more spice and no glaze. It will be hard for any other cookie to surpass this recipe.
