Peppakaker (Swedish Gingersnaps)

This is where I am supposed to be writing a novel about nothing that has to do with the recipe. It’s because the way google works is that people who write about whatever gets ranked higher in the Google algorithm (wow- I managed to get the right the first time I tried to type it out). Feel free to just jump to the recipe (since that’s all I ever do when Pinteresting recipes- you would think that with the hundreds of cookbooks I own that I would not be doing that- but I do).
