Made the Ginger cookies. I cut back on the candied ginger a bit to about 1 T because they were for friends and I didn't want to overwhelm it. Also only had regular molasses instead of light. They turned out great. I would try with some more of the candied ginger cut up very small. Texture was chewy the first 2 days and softened a bit after. Still very good. Used organic sugar and it was really nice on the outside.

Made regular Snickerdoodles they were good, not better than others I've had though. The texture wasn't as good as I like. I used Kerrygold butter and that did add to the flavor, but not sure if that impacted texture. Will try other recipes to see how they compare.

Made the Peanut Butter cookies. Used Reese pieces instead of Peanuts and made them a bit bigger. They were perfect. Going to dip them in chocolate and freeze.

Made brownie cookies.. accidentally added 3 tablespoons too much butter, and did everything in the wrong order. Added different toppings. Turned out very soft cookies, but they were still delicious.

I made the Cream Cheese Brownies but modified with Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour and I ran out of sugar, so I used Allulose for the white sugar in this recipe. Overall it was pretty good. But was a bit cakey, and lacking in chocolate flavor and cream cheese tanginess. Granted, I switched up the recipe a bit. And for being GF and lower sugar it was great. Want to try fudgy recipe or add in choc chips/nuts

So far I've made the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and they're delicious. Important notes: Age the dough in the fridge for at least a day, use chopped chocolate, don't over bake, I liked them a bit smaller size than other cookies, and add the flaky sea salt on at the end.
