Pepparkakor (Swedish Gingerbread Cookies)
Pepparkakor are thin, crispy Swedish cookies, made with our freshly ground gingerbread spices. Ginger, coriander and star anise round out this deeply complex, savory freshly ground and salt free gingerbread spice blend. These cookies are a Christmas tradition in Sweden and often served on St. Lucia day.
