Pepparkakor are uniquely thin but vary in texture from crisp and crunchy to slightly chewy depending on the recipe. Some ginger cookies are simply flattened disks (like this one) while others are meant to be rolled out and cut into shapes prior to baking. The cookies are often eaten plain but can be decorated with icing or glaze for a touch of extra sweetness and a little decoration. They are an excellent accompaniment to coffee tea or glögg (Swedish mulled red wine)!
