IKEA Style Pepparkakor Cookies

If you love IKEA cookies, then this recipe is perfect for you.

With this dough you will get around 80 thicker cookies or up to 160 very thin ones.

Ingredients

• 2 and 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda or baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 170 g butter
• 4 tablespoons ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• a pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 and 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses, black treacle or honey
• 2 eggs

Preparation

1. Mix all ingredients together with the melted butter.

2. Place the dough in a cool place so it firms up slightly because otherwise it will be very sticky while rolling.

3. If you do not want very thin cookies or do not feel like rolling out the dough, shape small balls and flatten them gently by hand just like we did.

Tip

These cookies are especially delicious during winter and Christmas holidays with tea or coffee.

Enjoy your meal!
