Nonny's Pepparkakors

This is my swedish great-grandmother's recipe for pepparkakors. She used to make hundreds of these every year for christmas.

Cream butter , sugar , egg , and molasses together.

Mix together flour , baking soda , cinnamon , clove , ginger.

Add flour mixture to butter / sugar mixture and mix well.

Refrigerate dough for several hours.

Divide into fourths and roll into logs.

Wrap each log in waxed paper and aluminum foil.

Freeze dough overnight.

Remove 1 / 2 log from freezer at a time.

Slice very thin and place on greased cookie sheet.

Bake 10-15 minutes in preheated 300f oven.

Cool for a few minutes and remove to wire rack.
