These are some wonderful Finnish cookies called Inkivaarileivat. Try saying that 3 times! We’ll just call them ginger cookies.
FINNISH GINGER COOKIES
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup light molasses
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1. Place butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, and molasses in a mixer bowl. Mix until well-blended. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover dough and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
