People start baking and sharing sweets with friends and family … even people that might not normally bake any other time of the year. There is just something about the holidays and baking for others that makes people feel good to give. I like to give fudge, pies, cake balls, cookies… cookies … and more cookies.
I like my sweets on the smaller side, so I end up with larger numbers. One … more cookies. Two … I could have fun and focus on their faces … oh and three…… less piping and less chances for my icing to look crooked. : ) Ooooh, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Can you smell it? Add the spices to your flour … it will make your dough delicious. I don’t have pics of the rest of the ingredients, but we don’t want to look at those anyway. We want cookies.

Does this recipe sound delish? Dec 2011 POST EDIT: Since I've had so many hits to this recipe, which have also come with a lot of questions...I thought I would post the answers here to save you some time.
I made the cookies today and took some new snapshots. Under-cooking vs Over-cooking. Someone had mentioned that only cooking them for 7 minutes made them too doughy. Is the dough supposed to be slimy/gooey? The oil and molasses mix in this recipe is what gives it its soft nature. My cookies turn out flat, is that how they are supposed to be? It depends on how you make the recipe.
