Great blend of two of my favorite tastes! Make sure you space these cookies well, as they tend to spread out. \u00a0Add a piece of bread to whatever you store them in to keep them soft (my grandmother's trick.) <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-05-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"JMartinelli13"},"reviewBody":"I made the recipe exactly as stated except that I rolled the dough balls in turbinado sugar instead of granulated.

They were not crystalized and came out more gingerbread cake like in texture. Still yummy but not what I was hoping for. I tried halving the recipe because I didn't need 9 dozen, so maybe my calculations were off.
