15+ Scandinavian Christmas Biscuits Recipe You Won't Believe The Taste!

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground cloves
• ½ tsp ground cardamom
• ½ tsp ground black pepper

Wet Ingredients:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup dark molasses
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, spices) until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of milk to help bring it together.
4. Divide the dough into two equal parts and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, you can decorate your biscuits with icing or leave them plain. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up as a thoughtful homemade gift for your loved ones.
