Annas Original Pepparkakor (Gingerbread Cookies) 2 x300g

Product Information

They’re not like any other cookie I’ve encountered – incredibly light and completely void of moisture lending to their unmistakable crispness. And those who did get a chance to dip in a paw before I managed to scoff the contents of both boxes thoroughly enjoyed them for the same reasons. Bake at 350 degrees F in the middle of the oven then cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.

Settle down on a comfy arm chair in the evening with half a dozen pepparkakor, a glass of cold milk and a good read. I’m sold. Have you ever madepepparkakor and if so, how did it go?

Beat the room temperature butter and sugar together with an electric mixer or a stand mixer then add the egg and add the molasses. Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, beat together coconut oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the foaming subsides and the butter is just beginning to brown. Turn off the heat.

Roll them about as thin as 1mm – don’t worry, they do rise a little in the oven. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out your shapes. You can choose whatever you want – simple circles, stars, or even gingerbread men. This Swedish ginger cookie is called Pepparkakor. There is no pepper included even though the name gives that suggestion. If you love ginger snaps then you will devour these!
