Peppar Kador (ginger cookies)

By LadyRev-2

From Susan Waddel. She fixed these December 2011 for Old Bags. They were the best gingerbread type cookie I had ever tasted. They were rolled quite thin

Ingredients

• Peppar Kador (ginger cookies)
• 1/2 lb. butter
• 1 1/ cup sugar
• 1 Tbs. molasses
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 egg
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Preparation

Step 1

Mix in order given. (sometimes I mix the dough and then refrigerate for a couple of hours. Makes it very easy to work with.) Roll out and cut in desired shape. Bake in moderate oven -about 350 degrees for six-seven minutes.

Will be very soft when taken out of oven, so I usually let them rest on the cookie tray for a minute or two before transferring to another tray...that way I have
fewer broken limbs!
