SWEDISH PEPPARKAKOR (GINGER COOKIES) image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup light molasses
2 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, spices, salt and baking soda. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then molasses and orange zest. Stir in dry ingredients. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill well, several hours or overnight. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board an even 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter and place the cookies on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven about 7 -9 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Watch carefully as they burn easily. Cookies must be of even thickness in order to brown evenly.
