Pfeffernüsse or Danish Pebernødder

Pfeffernüsse or Danish Pebernødder

Don’t worry! You can still make it – and add these fantastic, good tasting pfeffernüsse or Danish Pebernødder to your Christmas baking. These cookies are small, crispy and spicy with a touch of white pepper – from where the name has it origin – and they will for sure disappear fast, if you have kids in the house.

In December “hygge” is…  to enjoy a hot glass of good smelling, nice tasting, homemade mulled wine, or Glögg as we call it in Denmark, with all our family and friends!

And the crazy thing is, that it’s actually…
