Swedish Christmas Cookies
Everyone has something from childhood memories that makes him/her feel the magic of Christmas, even in the adult years. For me, it’s this gingerbread. The smell of these Christmas cookies brings me back to when I was leaving a carrot out for Rudolph! These are spicy and strong and insanely good.
