GINGERBREAD PFEFFERNÜSSE – SLIGHTLY ALCOHOLIC

GERMAN GINGERBREADS FROM WHISKEY

Pfeffernüsse is a spice cookie popular in the world in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

The name Pfeffernuesse means ‘pepper nuts’. The pepper part refers to the pepper, which is added to the dough, which gives these cookies a unique and aromatic accent. 
In Germany you can find Pfeffernuesse in every grocery store throughout the holiday season.

I created a bit larger cookies, and just before the day I’m completely immersed in white icing.

Enjoy your meal.
