Spice mix for gingerbread cookies
Advent here in Latvia is nothing without gingerbread cookies… so crisp and melting in your mouth. Also, good Latvian gingerbread cookies are nothing without perfect spice mix!
I have this spice mix recipe from ma grandmother and been sharing it before (at my old blog that is no longer exist) but I can’t resist to share it one more time!
Make gingerbread spice mix before Christmas so you can make gingerbread cookie dough without stress later on. And bake them whenever you want your house smell like Christmas.
Black pepper in gingerbread cookies!? Yuck! Sorry for yack your yum, but it’s not for me… Cause I got my Omas recipe that doesn’t require black pepper!

Useful post 🙂 thank you for sharing. And you know difference between Est and Latvia? We are eating gingerbreads only during christmas time. But in Latvia ( this sumner in Jurmala) i was amazed and surprised because of in July locals sold gingerbreads 🙂 :).:) ( and very tasty gingerbreads)
We don’t like to eat gingerbread in summer…that’s something crazy but i’ve seen them in summer too! I will share dough recipe too!
Wonderful!
🙂 Have you ever tried to make your own spice mix. Freshly grind they are stronger!
No – I was thinking that and it sounds fascinating. We have so many powdered spices, but I try to use fresh when I can – like freshly grating nutmeg, etc., but often times convenience wins.
Yes, it’s always easier to grab what’s made! Gingerbread cookies are the exception! I love them exactly like my grandmother made them 🙂
