How to Make Danish Brun Kager Brown Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  7. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Alternatively, cut into squares or rectangles.
  8. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
  10. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and seal in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks to allow flavors to meld and for easier slicing.
