Just like my Grandma's
That's what my husband said about these cookies, and that is a high compliment. He and the children loved them.

Excellent!
Very good cookie - just made them and am taste-testing right now. :) Super-easy to whip up and I enjoy the slightly crisp outside, tender inside. Yummy! Thank you!

A favourite here
Simple to make, I thought I would try this recipe and it is very similar to the one I usually use. I find it helps to chill dough for a bit in the fridge, then the dough is not so sticky when you roll it into balls. :)

Family recipe
My great aunt gave this recipe several years ago and it has remained a favourite. I love the spice combination with the molasses. It is more a "winter time" recipe here.
