Swedish Christmas Cookies

Who doesn’t like to eat cookie dough?

All that fresh butter, sugar,  flavoring, sometimes chips or nuts…
The flour holding it all together…

Sometimes I think the dough is better than the finished cookie.
Ok, not usually.
Nothing beats a homemade cookie hot out of the oven.
Nothing.

But as cookie dough (spell check had a fit when I wrote doughs) goes, this is my absolute favorite dough to eat!

Swedish-Christmas-Cookies-from-ChocolateChocolateandmore-53

Growing up, my sister was the baker of our family. (I was happy to eat all her wonderful creations.) With 2 or 3 weeks off for Christmas vacation she would go nuts in the kitchen. She never made boring sugar cookies, I don’t think I even remember her ever making a sugar cookie.

She would make cream puffs and tarts and other things that just made you drool. Some of my best cookie recipes came from her. Oh and just to brag on my sister a little more, She also sews (beautifully) and has a PhD. And 3 amazing kids! I lovingly call her the Martha Stewart of the family.

Back to this cookie dough. It doesn’t even have chocolate in it. How can it be my favorite?

It’s the blend of spices. The minute you start opening them up and measuring, The aromas start to combine in the air, I think there is definitely something to aroma therapy (at least as far as this dough goes,) And once they are mixed all together, In with the fresh butter, sugar and other ingredients…

 ok, just take a moment and look at these spices,
 they are beautiful together

Just try it, see if I’m right.
And the baked cookie is good too.

    Great tips and the cookies look great. My oven has a mind of it’s own too. I should really have it calibrated because whenever I bake, I have to constantly swap out the sheet pans on different shelves! ๐Ÿ™‚

    You are, without a doubt, getting me revved up for the holidays!

    @Mary thanks for stopping in, I’m so glad you like it. I have so much fun in the kitchen, I’m glad I get to share it with others!

    @Carrie and Carrie, I posted a reply last night but I guess blogspot was in a tiff. I’ll try again.

    @Carrie Kitchen-I’ve finally gotten to where, when possible, I do a test batch, just 2-3 cookies or cupcakes, to see how my oven wants to play today!

    @sassy Carrie, lets go! Who needs the holidays to eat something delicious?

    Hi there! Greetings from Sweden – found my way to your blog from Pinterest. You are absolutely right, most of us only eat these cookies for Christmas. It is called pepparkakor in swedish. But I don’t make my dough the way you do. And I use a lot more spices! Our pepparkakor are darker. If you use Google Translate I think you can understand how I make them. The whole kitchen smells lovely and the kids love our yearly pepparkaks-making ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy baking!

      So sorry, I’ve updated the recipe. You want to bake these in a 350 degree oven.

    As you say work into a stiff dough, do I use my blender, which attachment? , my hands, or a wooden spoon?

      You can use whatever you have available. A stand mixer will be easiest with just your regular paddle attachment.
