GINGER COOKIES
(SWEDISH GINGER BREAD COOKIES)

    RECIPE

1 cup (2 dl) water
1/2 cup (1 dl) syrup (molasses)
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of ground cloves
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
1 tablespoon of bicarbonate
10,5 oz (300 gr) butter
2,5 cups (5 dl) sugar
7,5 cups or about 1 lb. (1,5 litres) flour
 

HOW TO DO IT:
 
 

Mix butter, sugar and syrup. Add spices and bicarbonate,
then water and finally part of the flour.
Mix in the rest of the flour.
Let the dough sit over night, wrapped in foil in the fridge.
 

Roll the dough as thin as possible using flour.
Cut out figures - preferable Christmas figures, hearts, stars etc.

Bake in oven for about 5 minutes at 200-225 degrees C
(400-425 degrees F).
Watch it! They burn fast once they start.
 

You can get about 300 cookies, depending on how
big you make them.
It´s nice to make some quite big hearts,
decorate with frosting and
maybe hang them up in the window.

ENJOY!!!!
