First batch of Christmas cookie dough just went into the freezer.

Rec: Pepparkakor

Make sure your ginger is nice and fresh for these terrific crispy/chewy gingersnaps. I like mine really "bitey". I put more pepper than is called for in mine.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 1/2 cups flour.

Cream butter & sugar, then beat in molasses

Whisk dry ingredients together in large bowl then stir into butter/sugar mixture.

Chill until easy to handle. Roll into balls (I use a cookie scoop) and roll the balls in sugar. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 350 until lightly brown.

Cool on sheet for 1 minute then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Yep. Same stuff, different wrapper. smileys/wink.gif (Although Aldi's reputation in Europe is very different from

that of TJ in the U.S.)
