Swedish Pepparkakor Recipe
Here is a video from our Ambassador Kate Brickner.
Swedish pepparkakor translates to pepper cookies, but are commonly known as ginger thins. These holiday cookies get their name from the spicy flavor of the cookie, thanks to the cayenne pepper. They are traditionally cut into fun shapes, decorated with icing, or even hung on a tree! Every year in Stockholm, there is a popular Julmarknad (Christmas market) held at Skansen. Here you can find pepparkakor and many more holiday treats, too! In Swedish, mums ja is a way to yum! Enjoy these holiday ginger spice cookies!
