Pepparkakor are thin and crispy Swedish gingersnaps. These cookies are traditionally eaten in December in Sweden with a cup of coffee or some glögg. Enjoy!

One of my favorite parts of December is making Swedish Gingersnaps, called “pepparkakor” in Swedish. These classic Swedish Christmas cookies are thin, crispy, and spicy–and hard not to love. And while the dough can be a bit tricky to manage at first, once you get the hang of making these cookies it’s easy.

Childhood Memories

I have wonderful memories of making these cookies with my mom. Hers always came out so perfectly. Mine were always a little thicker and more flour filled! Practice, practice. I will say I have gotten better over the years!

One of the best parts of making this dough as a child (and now) is taking a few tastes of the raw, egg-free dough! Pure bliss on a spoon! My mom used to tell my sisters and me that eating “pepparkakor” dough made children nice. I think it did! We were pretty happy. (And I see my own kids react the same way these days when I ask if they want to taste the dough.)

Helpful Tips

  • Chill dough for at least one night. This dough needs to be chilled in the refrigerator overnight before it gets rolled out.
  • Consider making a half batch. The full recipe makes a lot of cookies, about 300 according to the recipe I adapted it from (I have actually never counted)!  Consider making a half batch if it’s your first time making pepparkakor, you don’t need or want a lot of cookies, or to simplify the dough making process.
  • The dough will keep in the refrigerator for a week or more. So if you decide to make a full batch or want to make a few dozen cookies at a time, you can always pull it out again on another day. (I never make the whole batch in one day!)
  • If you make the full batch: Unless you have a Professional Standing mixer similar to this one, I would still “process” half of the dough at a time so that you don’t overwork it.
  • Be patient. Once you start rolling out the cookie dough it will take some time to get it just right. It should be quite thin. Don’t be afraid to add flour as needed to prevent it from sticking.
Swedish Gingersnaps - Pepparkakor: make these classic Swedish cookies a little more wholesome by using white whole wheat flour for part or all of the flour. This classic recipe is the one my mom has used since I was little. From halsanutrition.comPin

Helpful Tools

  • Standing mixer.
  • Clean workspace for rolling out the dough. 
  • Rolling pin.
  • Pastry scraper.
  • Spatula.
  • Cookie-cutters of various shapes and sizes.
  • Cookie sheets.
  • Parchment paper.

Special Ingredients

  • Lyles Golden Syrup – available at most standard grocery stores
  • Patience and holiday spirit! 😉
*This recipe is adapted from “Tant Harriet’s Pepparkakor” in the Swedish cookbook: Vår Kokbok.

Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Chilling Time 12 hrs
Course Dessert, Fika
Cuisine Swedish
Servings 300 thin cookies

Equipment

  • Standing mixer
  • Cookie cutters

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks + 5 tablespoons)
  • 2.1 cups sugar (2 cups + 2 tablespoons)
  • 7 tablespoons syrup (I use Lyle's golden syrup; don't use maple syrup) (just under 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 13 tablespoons water (3/4 cup + 1 tablepoon)
  • 6.1 cups all purpose flour (6 cups + 2 tablespoons) (you could also use half white whole wheat flour if you wanted)

For Rolling out the Cookies

  • extra flour as needed

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients, except about 1 cup of the flour, to the bowl of a large standing mixer. (Note, unless you have a professional size mixer, mix together 1/2 batch at a time so that you don't overwork the mixer). Mix on low to medium speed until well combined.
  • Empty the dough onto a work surface and add the last bit of flour. Form into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least one night.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and let warm up a bit.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Working on a lightly floured work surface, take a small chunk of the dough. Knead it a bit and form it into a ball. Roll it out until it’s very thin (thinner than your average sugar cookie). Every now and then lift the rolled dough up from the table and make sure it’s not sticking to the work surface. Add a little more flour to the work surface or rolling pin as necessary.
  • When the dough has been rolled thin, use the cookie cutters to press out shapes. When you have filled the dough with shapes, peel away the surrounding dough. Transfer the cut shapes onto a cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 3½ to 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cookies as they can burn quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool a bit on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool more. They should be thin and crispy when cooled.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough. Wrap any unused dough in plastic and transfer it back to the refrigerator for another day.

Notes

Ingredients needed to make half of the recipe:

150 grams butter (about 1 ½ sticks) at room temperature
1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
3.5 tablespoons (just under ¼ cup) syrup (I like Lyle’s Golden Syrup)
½ tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ tablespoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
½ tablespoon baking soda
6.5 tablespoons water
3 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
Follow the instructions as above, except save just 1/2 cup of flour in step one.

    Hi Maria! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It has taken me 4 years and several recipes later to find the right PEPPARKAKOR! Since a friend refused to share the recipe, I have been doing many trial and errors. This one was finally exactly like what I tasted from my friend. Best cookies ever! Super yummy. Others please remember to roll dough paper thin. It rises a bit in the oven and its best thin. Especially yummy withyour cheese platter;)

      Hi Esmay! I’m so glad these cookies turned out well for you! They are so delicious and I love making them every winter. But they are definitely a lot of work and getting them paper thin takes patience and practice! I still can’t get mine as thin as my mom’s! 🙂

Happy Weekend! 🌿Don't forget fika/snack time. ☕️Bring the family together by serving up everyone's favorite hot drinks plus a  little something sweet or savory to snack on. ⁠💫
⁠⠀
I highly recommend these butter-cream filled chocolate almond treats. ✨Known as "chokladbiskvier" in Sweden, they are a specialty of my mother's...I'm only just now learning to make them! 
⁠⠀
Stay tuned for the recipe, coming to my blog in time for Valentine's Day. ⁠💗

Happy Friday! ☀️Looking for a satisfying addit Happy Friday! ☀️Looking for a satisfying addition to your weekend breakfast or lunch this week? How about a frittata?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Frittatas are wonderful because in addition to being satisfying they are easy to make, versatile, and taste great. ✨You can basically add any veggies that you have on hand. 🥦🧅🍅🫑🥔🥬I also love to add a little cheese for extra flavor.
⁠⠀
This “Broccoli, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Frittata” is based on a recipe that I have on my blog for “Asparagus-Zucchini Frittata”. It goes something like this:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
6 large eggs⁠⠀
2 tablespoons whole milk or cream⁠⠀
½ teaspoon + a pinch of Kosher salt⁠⠀
Freshly ground pepper⁠⠀
1 tablespoon olive oil⁠⠀
1 tablespoon butter⁠⠀
1 shallot, chopped⁠⠀
1 cup chopped broccoli florets ⁠⠀
1-2 cups baby spinach⁠⠀
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (or feta or cheddar)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1. Preheat broiler.⁠⠀
2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk or cream, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper together.⁠⠀
3. Heat oil and butter in a 9-10 -inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute for about 2 minutes. Then add broccoli saute for another 5 minutes or so, until tender. Stir in the spinach and season with a pinch of salt.⁠⠀
4. Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and then add then crumble on the goat cheese. Cook until egg mixture starts to set, about 2 minutes.⁠⠀
5. Place skillet under broiler and cook until top is set and golden in color, about 5 minutes, but all ovens are different so keep a close eye so that it doesn't get too dark.⁠⠀
6. Let rest for about 5 minutes before cutting.⁠⠀
⁠⠀

I made these cardamom oat muffins in honor of my s I made these cardamom oat muffins in honor of my son Henrik's name day today. 💗Following in the footsteps of my mom, I woke him up with hot cocoa, a muffin, and a song ("Med en enkel tulipan"). ⁠
⁠⠀
My mom @westberg.marianne would have seen to it that there was also a flower 🌷and a little present. Oh, and she probably would have made a whole cake...I will get it all down one of these days!⁠
⁠⠀
So what is a name day? Many countries have them. In Sweden, the names were traditionally based on Saints, but these days more names have been added to the calendar to keep up with the current popular names. ⁠✨
⁠⠀
The traditions surrounding Swedish name days vary from household to household. Growing up, it was like a mini birthday, complete with singing and breakfast/cake 🧁 in bed. I mean, seriously a good way to start your day. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Want to know your Swedish name day? 🇸🇪Just google “Swedish Name Days” and you will find several lists. (And if you don't see your name you could choose a name that is close to yours to celebrate your day.)⁠⠀

So here we are, half way through the first month o So here we are, half way through the first month of the year (and what a month it has been so far!). If you are feeling frustrated by your ability to stick with a diet plan or resolution you are not alone.⠀
⠀
So why not shift your mindset. Instead of dieting or diet resolutions, make small habit changes that help you thrive. ✨⠀
⠀
Here are 7 ideas:⠀
⠀
1️⃣Practice daily gratitude. Start every day by listing off what you are grateful for. I like to do this right in my planner, but you could also just think about it without writing it down.⠀
⠀
2️⃣Eat consistent meals. I think this one is especially important right now when so many of us are working and learning from home. It's easy to graze all day, blend meals together, or skip meals completely. Make an effort to eat consistent meals, including snacks/fika in between meals.⠀
⠀
3️⃣Choose foods that satisfy you. Of course, it's important to eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods, but so often we forget about the satisfaction factor! Choosing foods that satisfy you AND eating enough food to satisfy you will make you feel good and help ensure that you are getting the energy that you need.⠀
⠀
4️⃣Drink less alcohol. I don't like to tell people to consume less of something. However, when it comes to alcohol, less is better. So wherever you are at, cut back a little and see how you feel. The general recommendation is 1 drink or less per day for women and 2 drinks or less per day for men. Many people find that they sleep, feel, and function better with less alcohol.⠀
⠀
5️⃣Get outside and move. Every day when you can, but always listen to your body and honor rest as needed. Whether you walk, bike, or work in your yard is to you.⠀
⠀
6️⃣Enjoy daily coffee or tea break. If you have followed me for a while you know this is my favorite. Fika, fika, fika. The world needs more fika! You can read about it on my blog.⠀
⠀
7️⃣Trade-in your pre-bed screen for a book or magazine. Power off the screens at least an hour before bed and make time for reading. A cup of chamomile tea is also nice, unless it makes you get up to pee at night! ⠀
⠀

⁠⠀
Inspired by a recipe in one of Mollie Katzen’s Moosewood cookbooks (bought during my college days in the 90’s!), it's loaded with nourishing ingredients such as farro, walnuts, spinach, apples, onions, celery, and, of course, squash! ⁠❤️⠀
⠀
Note, in my original version on the blog I used freekeh, a wheat grain that is high in fiber and protein. I didn’t have any when I made this, so I subbed farro, another delicious whole grain.⠀

Make the long days of winter (and Covid-19 life) m Make the long days of winter (and Covid-19 life) more enjoyable by adding hygge and mys. ✨Hygge, as I’m sure you are aware of by now, is the Danish term for coziness and warmth. “Mys” is a similar term from my home country of Sweden. Both came about because of the need for more light, warmth, and joy during the dark days of winter in these northern latitudes. 🕯

In addition to blankets and candles, a big component of these concepts is creating something special—whether an atmosphere, meal, or environment, and slowing down to savor and enjoy it. 💗 

Here are a few of my favorite suggestions for adding more hygge and mys your winter:

✨ Lighting a candle when you’re brewing your coffee in the morning. 
✨Breakfast + old-fashioned paper newspaper in bed. 
✨Adding fika (a mindful coffee & snack break) to your daily routine.
✨ Enjoying a relaxed evening with loved ones by the fireplace place or fire pit. 

Head on over to my blog to read about my other 17 suggestions. (They are all a much better and healthier way to start the year than dieting.) 💫

Morning Stack ☀️ More than ever it’s all ab Morning Stack ☀️

More than ever it’s all about the small moments of joy in the day. Like cooking up a batch of pancakes for your family in the morning. ❤️

I will be honest, I whipped these up on this morning because we were out of other breakfast staples including cereal, toast, and milk. But sometimes a shortage of our go-to’s is the motivation we need to get creative in the kitchen. Am I right?

Recipe for these pancakes is on the blog, just search “Flying Pancakes.” Today I added @wildblueberries 🫐 both to the pancakes as they cooked and on top of the stacks. I also topped them with whipped cream and got my 14-year old to pour on some maple syrup. (Yes, it was definitely more of a pour than a drizzle! 😂)

Anyway, if you like pancakes, definitely give these a go. 👍They provide a good amount of protein, fiber, and fat to keep you satisfied and fueled (at least until snack time!). A variation of these is also included in my breakfast e-book. Available for sale now, link in profile. ✨

Snow coming your way? ❄️ Then this is the perf Snow coming your way? ❄️ Then this is the perfect time to mix together the dough for “pepparkakor” (Swedish Gingerbread Cookies). ❤️You see, it needs to rest in the fridge for at least a night. Come morning, you will be ready to bake! 👩‍🍳

These authentic Swedish cookies take some practice and patience to make. The dough needs to get quite thin, but not break. If at first you don’t succeed, keep at it and in no time you will get it down. 😀My boys, now 12 & 14, love to help make these cookies. They also love, love that there are no eggs in the dough so that they can take a little taste here and there! 😉

This past weekend when they were making these they were debating about whether the cookies were better raw or cooked, they decided it was a tie! 

You can find the recipe on my blog just search for the fun word “pepparkakor.” Go to my bio to find a link. ⤴️
