"This is about as Swedish a cookie as you can find! The dough is rolled thin, and cut into many shapes, the most commonly used is the pig!"

This recipe made a lot of cookies for me. I didn't roll them out and broke the rules! I rolled them into balls and then flattened with a cookie press dipped in sugar. I baked them for about the same length of time though and they turned out great. My Swedish grandfather might not have approved but everyone at work loved them! Fresh orange juice and fresh zest is key to these cookies.

this recipe is good! i didn't cut my cookies out, instead rolled the dough into a log, chilled it, and then cut it into thin slices to bake. i found the thinner the cookies, the nicer they were.

I love these cookies, they are just like the Orange Thins you can buy from Ikea. However, the batter is very soft, and is best chilled for several hours before rolling, and is best rolled on a pastry cloth.

This is the exact recipe that was given to me by my Danish grandmother. She always made these at Christmas, as did my mother. Now I make them and they are my favorite holiday cookie. They say Christmas to me in every way.

These are the first cookies I have ever made that weren't a starter at a grocery store. They are so yummy! I added nutmeg, 1 tbsp. Molasses and subbed light brown sugar for the 1/2 cup white sugar!

I had to reprint the recipe, because mine left the house with one of my guests after I served these for dessert. I used molasses instead of corn syrup because that's what I had, and it will be my new Christmas cutout recipe.

My husband was raised on Anna's and pepparkakor was one of my two year old's first words. We eat lots of pepparkakors at our house but this is the first time we have actually made them. I am afraid I may have made a mistake because these were so good and we are hooked. I used molasses instead of corn syrup, no orange zest, and I left the dough in the refrigerator for a day before cutting them out.

This recipe is easy and much more shortbread-like than what I remember from childhood. my cookies turned out kind of crispy and soft inside. I added red and green chocolate "buttons" to the little pepparkokor men I made with this recipe and they made nice additions to the cookies I mailed home.
