These are absolutely delicious and not at all overpowering in the ginger dept! I haven’t even dipped them in the white chocolate yet and I’m obsessed. Quick question – one batch made 40 cookies (approx 40g each) they look a bit flatter than yours. Wondering if I made them a little bigger to yield 24 cookies like your recipe states, will they be a bit puffier? Hmm let me know. Thanks 🫶

My husband sent me this recipe from your Instagram post as a less than subtle request, lol! They turned out super yummy!

In reply to Lex. Perhaps! And the moisture in the air can mess a lot of things up. Glad they worked out better after an overnight chill!

In reply to thedomesticrebel. I did use butter! I think maybe I over mixed. I left the remaining batter in the fridge overnight and yielded a better result. It may have been the rain adding extra moisture to the air too. Thanks! They still taste fab!

In reply to Lex. Lex, did you use real butter and not margarine? Margarine tends to make cookies spread, so perhaps you accidentally used it in place of butter. Otherwise, I'm not sure why else it would spread unfortunately! I've made these cookies so many times and I never have issues. I'm sorry yours were flat!

I love the taste of these cookies! They look wonderful in your post. Gorgeous, however mine did not! They flattened out a lot. I placed the batter in the fridge for 30 min hoping it would help. It did not. Any suggestions?

In reply to Sebastian. Hi Sebastian, molasses is truly unique and imparts such a wonderful, deep and complex flavor to these cookies. Since you can't find it there, I would substitute equal parts honey or dark corn syrup to try to achieve the same results. The flavor will be different since there's no molasses, though.

In reply to Dale. Hi Dale! Oops, my mistake! It should be 1 & 1/2 cups or 3 sticks of butter. Fixed it in the recipe too. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

This looks so delicious but I have a question. How many sticks of butter should be used; because 1 1/2 cups = 3 sticks not 2 1/2. Can’t wait to try it. Merry Christmas!
