Swedish Pepparkakor image

Crunchy, but not hard, spicy gingerbread cookies from Sweden. You can omit the egg to make it more cracker-like. If you prefer a little softer cookie, leave on the tray for a minute or two before moving to the cooling rack.

Time 1h35m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup pastry flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 dash ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ cup molasses
⅓ cup white sugar
⅛ cup maple syrup
¼ cup butter
egg

Steps:

  • Mix all-purpose flour, pastry flour, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and black pepper together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Combine molasses, sugar, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly to dissolve and remove from heat when a small foam rises to the surface, about 3 minutes. Continue stirring and allow to cool slightly; add butter and let cool to room temperature. Add egg.
  • Pour molasses mixture into flour mixture in the bowl and mix until crumbles hold together when pressed. Knead for 2 minutes, focusing on any dry bits. Form into a flat log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut dough log into small sections and allow to warm up slightly before rolling out between 2 layers of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut shapes with a floured cookie cutter or pastry wheel. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes; remove cookies before they brown. Cool on a rack.

I found that the dough was a bit too dry. I had to add an extra egg yolk to get it to come together.
