How to Make Spicy Gingersnaps Piparkokur

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
  3. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes. Alternatively, roll the dough into a 1-inch thick log, then slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  6. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
