Pepparkakor (Swedish Ginger Cookies) Recipe

Name: Pepparkakor (Swedish Ginger Cookies)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened; 3 1/4 cups flour; 2 teaspoons baking soda; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 2 teaspoons ground ginger (be generous); 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves; 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1 teaspoon allspice (if you have it); 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to your liking); 3/4 cup granulated sugar; 3/4 cup brown sugar; 1 egg; 2 tablespoons maple syrup; 1 tablespoon water

Servings: persons

1 cup butter, softened
3 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger (be generous)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice (if you have it)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to your liking)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon water

1
In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.
2
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together, then add egg, maple syrup, and water. Beat until fluffy.
3
Mix in dry ingredients about 1/2 cup at a time slowly, so the dough doesn't get too stiff.
4
Remove from the bowl and form a big ball. Separate into quarters and refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 6 hours.
5
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F.
6
Working with 1/4 of dough at a time, roll out the dough (I like to do this between plastic, but you can also use a floured surface), until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Use your favorite cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
7
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, but watch the first batch carefully! You want the cookies to get toasty and golden, not too dark.
