If you can’t make it to your local store to celebrate on December 12, you can still bring Swedish holiday traditions home way by making your own ginger thins with products from IKEA!

GINGER THINS

Ingredients:

  • 550 g (19.4 oz) PEPPARKAKA DEG gingerbread dough
  • VINTERKUL pastry cutter (set of 6)

Directions:
