Pepparkakor

2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp allspice
1 tsp of salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 tbsp baking soda
1 1/3 c. unsalted butter

1 ¼ c. regular white sugar
¾ c. brown sugar
 1 small egg
the peel of one lemon
1 ¼ c. golden syrup (molasses)
1 ¼ c. heavy cream
4 ¾ c. flour

Day one: Sift the spices and the baking soda in a bowl. Mix butter with the two sugars, add the spices and the egg. Add lemon, golden syrup (molasses), cream and finally flour. This will be fairly sticky – don’t worry! Stick it in the fridge overnight. Instead, make a log or at least flat discs, wrap in plastic, and chill.
Day two. Take out small pieces of dough at a time, and roll out on a floured work surface.
Bake in the oven, at 350 F for 7-8 minutes, depending on size.
