Directions said to roll cookies in 'sugar' mixture before putting them in the oven BUT sugar was mentioned ONLY once and it went INTO the cookies. I used 'powdered' sugar and increased the 'spices' to 1/2 tsp. each.

Several things are wrong with this recipe: No amt of sugar is given to add to the spices that the cookies are rolled in before baking. 350 degrees is too hot. The cookies burn way before the suggested minimum time. Leave more than 1" beween cookies on the sheet. They run together. Make the suggestion to cool the cookies on the sheet for 1 minute before attempting to remove them. I wasted a lot of good ingredients because of these reasons.
