How to Make Pepparkakor Ginger Cookies
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/4 cup of boiling water. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the cooled baking soda mixture.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch).
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes (hearts or flowers).
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Watch carefully, as they brown quickly!
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
