SO HOW'D IT GO?
What is golden syrup?
I've never ended up with cookies like these before, the ''dough'' IS powdery , there is either too much flour in this recipe or not enough wet ingredients
even after i added the extra moisture to the recipe by adding soy milk and adjusting the spices (adding more) , my cookies came out tasting like flour even if the batter did not taste like it at the time, thats why i thought it would come out fine...the sugar content was fine i thought, because Ive used that much sugar in cookie recipes before and had no problem with the taste, i think there is just way too much flour..
I'm not going to bin the cookies only because i hate wasting , thank the gods i have green tea to drink them with... sorry i don't mean this in a mean way , I'm just being honest.. :-\ who ever makes this recipe and fallows it exactly will fine out that they will have to tweak this recipe quite a lot to get it just right...
(I'm normally positive on reviews but there's nothing positive about these cookies :-X )
I just made these and they're great! I cut down on the ginger by a tablespoon and used molasses instead of corn syrup. I rolled them out and cut them into gingerbread men-I gave them faces with gel food coloring and buttons with raisins and choc. chips. They're so cute and Christmas-y! LOL. ;D But watch out, the dough was very dry, almost powdery so I added a little more than 1/4 cup rice milk, baked @ 350 for 10 mins and it was perfect.
Okay, so I tried the recipe... I was good, but needed more spice. Also it was moist enough to roll out, and I didn't have to use soymilk. All in all - nice cookies! :P
It says: "Bake in a moderate oven", and I ask: What is that in temperatures? ;)
I used about 350 or so and just watched them
Thanks! :)

the dough was really dry! but I added some soymilk which made them taste better
Dough is much too dry, but if you add some soymilk it turns out perfectly. Delicious.
