Finnish Rauma Cookies (Rauman Piparkakut - Finland) image

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", a cookbook by which the author is passing on Finnish cooking heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. It differs from the other piparkakut recipes in that it doesn't use corn syrup. I think the sour cream in this one takes the place of it.
