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!

GRANDMA'S PEPPARKAKOR ~ SWEDISH SPICE COOKIES



Grandma's Pepparkakor ~ Swedish Spice Cookies image

This is a family favorite! Grandma always had plenty of cookies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She was known for her Pepparkakor and Spritz. I'm the only one that has carried on the tradition. My brothers in-law only get these little gems when I make them!

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c sugar
1 large egg
3 Tbsp dark corn syrup
3 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cinnamon, ground
2 tsp ginger, ground
2 tsp clove, ground

Steps:

  • 1. GRANDMA'S DIRECTIONS Sift flour with soda and spices. Cream butter and sugar, add syrup and egg. Add dry ingredients. Mix until well blended. (form dough into a ball) Roll out thin, about 1/16 of an inch, on floured board, and cut into shapes. Bake at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes.
  • 2. THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME After the dough is formed into a ball, divide into 4 smaller balls, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes or so. I also roll the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Cut into shapes, pop the sheet into the freezer for a couple of minutes. It makes it easy to remove the cut outs from the parchment.
  • 3. **** Not stated in Grandma's directions, YOU KEEP ROLLING ALL YOUR TRIMMINGS, UNTIL ALL THE DOUGH IS GONE! It's a labor of love!

GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS SPICE CUTOUTS



Grandma's Christmas Spice Cutouts image

My great-grandmother made these, and the tradition was passed down in the family-without a written recipe! My mother would always start them the day after Thanksgiving, which was exciting for us kids, as we knew Christmas wasn't far off. They are easy to decorate with family; my grandchildren always look forward to them.-Elaine Phelps, Cornell, Wisconsin
