Swedish Gingerbread Cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
Instructions
1
Combine dry ingredients such as flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and cardamom in a large bowl and sift them together.
2
In another bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until they form a light and fluffy mixture. Then, incorporate egg and corn syrup into the mixture until it's smooth.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them together until they're evenly blended. Divide the dough into four equal parts and wrap each part tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
4
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease your baking sheets.
5
Working with one portion of dough at a time, and leaving the other portions in the refrigerator, remove the chilled dough from the plastic wrap and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough using a floured rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
6
Cut the rolled-out dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters, dipping the cutters into flour as needed so they don't stick to the dough. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until they're set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process for the remaining dough portions.
8
Note: Make sure to handle the dough gently and avoid overworking it, as this can affect its texture.
