It's a snap to make these holiday cookies

In Denmark, they’re called Brune kager. In Finland, their name is Piparkakut, and in Norway, Pepperkaker or Brune kaker. When I’m with my Swedish friends, they are definitely Pepparkakor. But, if you’re not Scandinavian, (I’m not) just call these thin, crisp and lightly spiced cookies Christmas Ginger Snaps.
