Normally I don’t really like crunchy cookies, but some I really like.
Among the ones I like, there is these – Swedish ginger bread!
Yeah well … Maybe it sounds weird, that I love Swedish ginger bread, and not Danish or others …
Sorry!
I really think there is a huge difference. Swedish ginger bread are just much more spicy .. Christmassy-spicy! ♥
I am part Swedish & part danish, and therefore there will always be some Danish/Swedish thing, that I like more than the other.
These ginger breads are really delicious. Just remember to roll out the dough really thin – Much thinger than you would think, as they raise in the oven , and become to thick.
