Pepparkakor are a spicy sweet ginger snap cookie that is traditionally made at Christmas time in Scandinavia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

This recipe is adapted from one my mother-in-law makes every Christmas. I think these are the absolute best ginger snaps I have ever had. My husband and son might not know that she puts them in our annual cookie tray because I am quick to sneak them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to John at Swedish Food,<\/a> the cookies used to contain pepper and were used for medicinal purposes. He also mentions that he likes to serve them topped with blue cheese and a touch of cloudberry jam! I will need to bake some more and give that a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Cookie Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever noticed that many cookies use the same basic ingredients? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is one of four I am sharing this week that use my Homemade Cookie Mix. Each cookie recipe starts with the same basic mix but ends up completely different looking and tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Make a batch of the cookie mix and keep it in the fridge or freezer so you can quickly whip up a batch of cookies when the urge strikes. Or make a double or triple batch to make Christmas cookie baking a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n
