warm flavours, popular Swedish cookies. When I lived with friends in Sweden, they shared with me this popular gingerbread cookie recipe. I might experiment with adding a bit more ginger or something, but the wonderful thing about it is that the dough can stay in the refrigerator for a very long time, giving me all the time I need to use it up and have fun with it. #homemade #homemadefood #homemadefoodisthebest #internationalfood #internationalrecipes #internationalrecipe #baking #bakingisfun #bakingislife #ilovetocook #ilovetobake #letsbake #letscook #foodislife

How to Make PEPPARKAKOR or Swedish Gingerbread Cookies

Pepparkakor is a thin and crispy gingerbread cookie eaten on Christmas in Sweden. This recipe is based on one from a bakery in Gothenburg who published their cookie in a newspaper years ago, and I tweaked it since to suit our tropical climate. This is a yearly tradition in our home, and we make hundreds of cookies to give away and eat. These are not like the american gingerbread, this is thinner and crispier, and less sweet! You can elevate it by making royal icing and decorating your gingerbread cookies.

This recipe makes A LOT of pepparakor, enough to package and give as gifts to your friends and family! One recipe makes well voer a hundred cookies, so half it if you don't need as much.

PEPPARKAKOR RECIPE

400g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
250g granulated sugar
200g brown sugar
300 ml light syrup (I use AGAVE)

Zest of 1 orange
100 ml Nestle All Purpose Cream
125 ml water
1.5 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cardamom powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

3 teaspoons baking soda
1,360g All Purpose Flour

Boil the cream and water along with the spices. Allow to cool.
Using a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until pale then add the syrup.
Add the cooled cream mixture into the butter mixture, then add the orange zest.
Whisk baking soda, salt, and pepper to the flour, then add to the mixture one cup at a time until fully incorporated.
Form a ball and flatten, then wrap the disc in plastic. Set in the refrigerator for a minimum for 24 hours to rest.
Preheat your oven to 200C.
Roll out on a floured counter as thin as possible, cut out shapes, then peel away the excess dough. IMPORTANT: For the traditional pepparkakor, rolling it out thin is key! You’ll achieve that crispy buttery spiced cookie.
Brush another sheet with butter, arrange cookies, and bake for 6-8 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Be careful not to burn the edges of your shapes , every oven if different so watch your first batch and get your timing right. Don’t forget to turn your tray halfway through baking for even coloring.
Cool completely before packaging!
