I seriously have a problem with these cookies, I just can not seem to stop eating them. It is such a problem I limit the amount of times I will make these a year. My youngest daughter seems to have inherited my taste for soft spicey cookies because when I made this batch she stood right there with me eating them off the cooling rack. They are soft like little tiny cakes, with the perfect blend of spices, they are simply delicious! I will say rarely will a small batch of these be around my house long enough to see day 2, but any cookies that are left have a much better flavor a day or two after baking, when the spices have had time to develop their flavors.

Oh my goodness, these are good! We made 3 batches this week and will make 2 more before Sunday. Everyone who tried these like them with no topping. I’m thinking of trying dried cranberries in them.
Thank you for posting this recipe.
I made these a few days ago – and they are amazing. Switched frosting to browned butter glaze: brown butter then add confectioners sugar and a little water right on the stovetop. Dip the cookie tops in. They have a maple flavor – YUM
The brown butter glaze sounds delicious, I am totally going to try that the next time I make these cookies! I am glad you liked them!!
I am going to try to make these for the cookie party
Aren’t the holiday Oreos available this year??? hehe…I am glad you are excited about it this year, You might even get the golden spatula if you make these
