    When I am rushed for time, I use a carton of vanilla, cream cheese or butter cream frosting for the filling....really mellows the mollases and spicey flavor...............Mykele

    I think I'd use a lemon-ginger filling with these tasty cookies.

    These were okay. The filling is very sweet and buttery. I also found 12 - 15 mins to be WAY too long. Using the cookie size in the recipe, 7 - 8 mins baked a cookie that was done but still a little soft. I would not make these again unfortunately.

    Has anyone tried making a cheese cream type frosting for the filling? So following the same recipe pretty much but adding cream cheese and decreasing the butter?

    Yep, everyone is right...these cookies are addictive. This is one of my favorite cookie recipes of all time (and my all-time list is rather small, so the select ones on it are tops in my opinion)! I also think they are surprisingly easy to make. The result gives the impression that you did more work than you actually put in, in other words! I used the smallest cookie scoop, leveled off, and the cookies were a perfect size and pretty symmetrical. Thanks for a great recipe!

    These cookies really are out of this world. I've made them twice and each time they have turned out perfect. Definitely do not overbake the cookies. And if you have extra filling, it is awesome on pancakes!!!

    These are fabulous, and easier than I expected. I took them to a potluck where there were about 10 times as many desserts as we needed, and they disappeared in a matter of minutes. Since the cookies need to "match" to sandwich up neatly, it's very helpful to use a very small cookie scoop or a round measuring spoon to get the size uniform, and also cool the sheets between batches. The filling recipe does make quite a bit more than necessary, so we ate it as a spread on toast!
