looking for recipe for Nyakers ginger snaps?

Question

I've been all over the 'net looking at recipes. Does anyone have ideas how to copy that recipe? Ideas to adjust my recipe to taste like theirs?
Here's the recipe I used

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 cups flour

I did not boil the molasses and sugar as the recipe said, I just creamed butter sugar and molasses and mixed them like any other cookie. I also cut out some of the flour trying to make them spread out thin. My cookies came out really soft and sort of fluffy.
I don't want to roll them out I was trying to make a drop cookie out of the recipe

Experienced bakers please, no sarcastic comments, Please!

Thanks, Jason, It helped some!

Answer 1

I believe Nyakers is a Swedish Pepparkakor, or "ginger thin." Hopefully this recipe will get you closer to what you're looking for.

Pepparkakor
(yields at least 10 dozen cookies, if using a medium sized cutter)

2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp allspice
1 tsp of salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 tbsp baking soda

300 gram unsalted butter (I used salted, like I normally do, and it was fine.)
250 gram regular white sugar
150 gram brown sugar

1 small egg
the peel of one lemon
300 ml golden syrup
300 ml heavy cream
1100 gram flour

Day one: Sift the spices and the baking soda in a bowl. Mix butter with the two sugars, add the spices and the egg. Add lemon, golden syrup, cream and finally flour. This will be fairly sticky – don’t worry! Stick it in the fridge overnight, but don’t do what I did and just put the whole mixer bowl in there. It becomes very, very, very solid. Instead, make a log or at least flat discs, wrap in plastic, and chill. (I broke my favorite wooden spoon trying to get the dough out of the bowl on day two. Not fun.)

Day two. Take out small pieces of dough at a time, and roll out on a floured workface. I don’t need to teach you how to cut out cookies. (But do use a lot of flour, you don’t want to have to scrape these off the counter top. It doesn’t impair the flavor much.)

Bake in the oven, at 180 degrees Celsius (350 F) for 7-8 minutes, depending on size.

Nyakers Ginger Snaps

Answer 3

These cookies are very reminiscent of ginger snaps, except they are soft and chewy. The scent of these cookies baking is amazing. 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter 1 large egg 3/4 cup unsulfured molasses 2 3/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease the cookie sheets. In a large bowl cream together the brown sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in the egg and molasses until light and creamy. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture. Drop by teaspoonsful onto the prepared sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cookies should not brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container, or wrap well and freeze.
