These traditional Swedish Pepparkakor cookies blend warm holiday spices with rich molasses for the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The dough benefits from overnight chilling, allowing the cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and cloves to fully develop their flavors. Rolled thin and cut into festive shapes, these crisp cookies make beautiful holiday decorations or gifts. A time-tested classic that fills the house with irresistible aroma as they bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients
3 1/2 c. flour

1/4 t. ground cardamom
1/2 c. margarine
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
3/4 c. molasses
blanched almond halves
Directions
Sift together flour, soda and spices.
Cream margarine, gradually add sugar, creaming until light and fluffy.
Add egg and molasses.
Beat well.
Stir in dry ingredients gradually mixing until well blended.
Cover, chill over night.

Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
WAIT! WTF? The cooking instructions are missing. 
I found 375° for 5 minutes or 350° for 10 minutes. Just enough for them to "harden".

Note: Dough may be used in small amounts if desired. Will keep one week. These cookies keep well once they are baked also. Store in covered tin.
Servings\Yield
Makes 2-3 dozen Swedish spice cookies
