We dusted off our aprons and oiled up the rolling pin today, and got baking some pepperkaker (or 'papa-nacker', as Justin calls them!) using this recipe. With lots of golden syrup in the mix, our dough was extremely sticky, hence the flour everywhere!
With rather a shortage of cookie cutters, we ended up freehand-cutting our little pepperkaker people: a Justin, an Astrid, a Tilly and a (rather horsey) Bella.
They're very tasty, although perhaps a little thick -- the recipe said it made 30 to 40, and we got about 12 out of our dough!
And if you're in the mood to make a batch of your own, perhaps try out some of these beautiful designs:

The dough looks yummy.
I love the heart shapes and Tilly in her dress.
Bella didn't get to do quality control like Rufus?
Looking forward to baking together soon.
Yes, can't wait! Bella wasn't really interested in the dough, surprisingly. She'd rather have pepperoni than pepperkaker!
Love the pictures, and your aprons!
Astrid, I referred so many local seamstresses that I met this weekend to your blog for inspiration! I told them you make the coolest things ever!
They look terrific. The patterns are great. x
Loreal -- thanks, we had a lot of fun!
M'Lynn -- wow, how exciting! I hope it went well for you this weekend.
Maxabella --thanks! Very tasty, too...!
This looks like a really fun day in the kitchen. Love your aprons:)
Those look great! I make swedish pepparkakor every year. My mom likes them really thin so it usually takes me FOREVER to make them.
Great freestyle cutting! :)
They look really jummie !! I love baking cookies with my girls;-)
You guys are so cute! Love Justin's excitement and you look like you could be having your own cooking show any day.
