what is the story of a wish when you break Pepparkakor cookies?

Question

This is a Swedish cookie-something about tapping it, if it breaks in three your wish comes true?

Answer 1

That's right! Pepparkakor is a thin, crisp gingerbread cookie. It's especially favoured at Christmas time, but we eat it all year round even if it's only at Christmas that we make them ourselves instead of buying them.
Put one in your palm, tap it lightly until it breaks, and if it breaks in three parts you make a silent wish. And if you make a wise wish, it might come true. (Like "I wish that I will soon eat this little pepparkaka").
