How to Make Finnish Pepper Cookies Piparkakut
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of light corn syrup, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Let cool completely to room temperature.
- Whisk in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 4 cups all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms. Add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time, if needed to achieve a slightly stiff dough.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick), using about 1/2 cup of dough at a time. Cut into your desired shapes using cookie cutters.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies are crisp. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.
