PEPPARKAKOR (SWEDISH GINGER COOKIES)

Provided by The Redhead Baker

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter, both sugars, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, orange extract, salt, cloves, and pepper. As the butter melts, whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Cool until just warm to the touch, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg into the cooled mixture until smooth. Pour over the dry ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula until no dry flour remains. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  • Heat the oven to 350 F with racks in the upper- and lower-middle positions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Working with a tablespoonful of dough at a time, use dampened hands to roll into balls. Arrange 12 dough balls on each baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the balls on each sheet and use the bottom of a dry measuring cup to flatten each to about ¼ inch thick. Remove the plastic and bake until richly browned, 14 to 16 minutes, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

TRADITIONAL SWEDISH PEPPARKAKOR



Traditional Swedish Pepparkakor image

These thin, crispy spice cookies are a Christmas tradition in Sweden. They're usually cut into heart, flower or star shapes. Dusting your cookie cutters with flour will make it easier to cut the dough.

Yield Makes about 9 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Pearl sugar (for dusting)
Equipment:
2 large baking sheets; 2 nonstick baking mats, such as Silpats, or parchment paper; rolling pin; cookie cutters; wax paper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a small saucepan over moderate heat, warm the corn syrup and orange zest. Add the butter and sugar and continue warming, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the egg and whisk to combine. Pour over the flour mixture and stir to combine. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in a double layer of plastic wrap, and chill overnight.
  • Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with nonstick baking mats, such as Silpats, or parchment paper.
  • Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out a portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut the dough into desired shapes, such as circles, stars, hearts, bells, gingerbread men, and Christmas trees. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and sprinkle with the pearl sugar. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks and rotating the baking sheets about halfway through baking, until the edges are just beginning to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Watch the cookies carefully to make sure they don't get too brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to let cool completely. Continue rolling and cutting out the rest of the cookie dough and baking the cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: Pepparkakor can be baked ahead and kept, stored between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks, or frozen up to 1 month.

TRADITIONAL PEPPARKAKOR (SWEDISH SPICE COOKIES)



Traditional Pepparkakor (Swedish Spice Cookies) image

Traditional Swedish spice cookie; traditionally served on St. Lucia Day (Dec. 13). These are my sisters favorite cookie.:) (Note: you need to mix up the dough a day in advance, cover and let rest overnight). Cardamom & finely chopped candied ginger would make nice additions to these Pepparkakor. The molasses is an essential ingredient in this recipe, you get crispy yet chewy cookies with a lovely rich subtle depth of flavor. Don't skip!

  • Add flour to a large bowl. Then, mix in the baking soda and salt. Heat a medium saucepan on Med and melt the butter (but do not burn). When just melted, remove from heat and whisk in the gingerbread spice, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, and maple syrup. Next, add in the egg and gently whisk to thoroughly mix.
  • Adding 1 cup of the dry mixture at a time to the liquid, stir to thoroughly mix. Repeat until the dry flour is completely dissolved into a dough. Using a silicone spatula, scrape the dough onto parchment paper, plastic wrap, or a flour dusted surface. Gently knead the dough with the spatula into a large ball. Wrap in plastic and place in fridge for at least 30 mins. [note: the dough will be very sticky. Do not over knead]
  • Pre heat oven on 375 deg with multiple wire racks in place. Remove dough from fridge to parchment, plastic wrap, or flour dusted surface. Roll dough flat until ~1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes, re-rolling scraps.
  • Line multiple baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange cookies. Place sheets in oven and bake for 8-12 mins (the former for slightly chewier cookies, and the latter for a little crispier). Watch carefully as you want them to be golden but not dark brown or burnt. Decorate or serve as-is.
