They include <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cloves<\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Molasses<\/strong> &#8211; Just like in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/ginger-molasses-cookies\/\">ginger molasses cookies<\/a>, molasses gives the cookies a rich, deep flavor. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can use light or dark molasses<\/span> (dark will give a stronger flavor). I do not recommend using blackstrap molasses as it has a more bitter flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brandy<\/strong> &#8211; The recipe doesn&#8217;t use a lot of brandy; rather, it has just enough to add a touch of brandy flavor. If you don&#8217;t want to purchase brandy only for this recipe, you can use rum or even replace the brandy with apple juice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almonds<\/strong> &#8211; Finely chopped almonds give the cookies an extra little crunch. Fun fact: pfeffernusse cookies don&#8217;t have the word nuts in the them because of the nuts in the recipe; it&#8217;s because they are traditionally shaped like nuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crunchy-or-soft\">Crunchy or Soft?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This pfeffernuse cookie recipe is versatile, as it can produce both soft and crunchy cookies depending on how you prepare and store them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller you make your dough balls and the longer you bake them for, the crunchier your peppernut cookies will be. The insides may be chewy when they first come out of the oven, but they will get quite crunchy if you leave them uncovered for a few days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, if you prefer your pfeffernusse cookies softer, like a spicier version of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/ginger-molasses-cookies\/\">ginger molasses cookies<\/a>, just make the dough balls a bit larger and store them in an airtight container.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05.jpg\" alt=\"Peppernuts\" class=\"wp-image-35400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-122x183.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-424x636.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-848x1272.jpg 848w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-212x318.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-428x642.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-856x1284.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-214x321.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Peppernuts-05-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dust these German Christmas cookies with some powdered sugar for additional sweetness and a snowy, wintry appearance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-variations\">Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I dust my peppernut cookies in powdered sugar, but some people prefer to leave them plain or top them with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I typically make sugar cookie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/christmas-sugar-cookies\/\">snowman cookies<\/a>, I&#8217;ve also made peppernut cookies that look like snowmen with peppercorn buttons and eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1278\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01.jpg\" alt=\"Peppernut Snowmen\" class=\"wp-image-18183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01.jpg 852w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-122x183.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-424x636.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-848x1272.jpg 848w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-212x318.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-428x642.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-214x321.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Peppernut-Snowmen-01-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using pfeffernusse cookie dough to make snowmen is a fun way to give these German Christmas cookies some extra character!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1702581842559\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What does pfeffernusse mean in German?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This literally translates to &#8220;pepper nut!&#8221; These German Christmas cookies got their name from the signature addition of black pepper that gives them a unique spiced flavor. Pfeffernusse cookies don&#8217;t have any actual nuts in them, but rather were traditionally shaped like nuts.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1702581858781\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are pfeffernusse cookies the same as gingerbread?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While there are similarities between the cookies, especially in the types of spices used to flavor each kind of cookie dough, gingerbread is lacking in pepper. Many recipes for gingerbread also include brown sugar, which isn&#8217;t necessary for pfeffernusse cookies thanks to the addition of molasses.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1702581863831\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you pronounce pfeffernusse?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you ignore the first p, the rest of the word is more or less pronounced as it&#8217;s spelled. <em><strong>Fef-er-noos<\/strong><\/em>. Easier than you might think!<\/p>
