Ginger, clove and cinnamon are pretty much standard in Swedish gingersnap recipes, but cardamom is not always included. I love cardamom though and have been using a recipe including all four spices ever since I first started making my own back in my youth.

It's just always been one of my favourite parts of Advent/Christmas traditions.

It was usually dad behind the camera back in those days, but somehow it seems more likely that the baking was done on a weekday - in which case it must have been mum who took the photos. (She was a housewife, while dad worked 5½ days a week back then.)

It is wonderful that you stick to making your own, I am far too lazy for that and keep telling myself I will have to start baking my own Christmas cookies at some stage, as my Mum won't be around forever (or willing and able to do it).<br />Only a few weeks ago, Swedish Ginger Snaps were on special offer at my local supermarket (Aldi). I am sure they are nowhere near as good as your home-baked ones, but maybe I should give them a try.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-3583673885261348202020-12-01T22:11:54.080+01:002020-12-01T22:11:54.080+01:00Gorgeous photos.
