Christmas Pfeffernusse Cookies image

I got this delicious German spice cookie recipe from a local newspaper. Instead of using light molasses like the recipe calls for, I use regular molasses beacause I like the darker color.

Time 22m

Yield 24-30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon anise seed, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
powdered sugar, for rolling baked cookies in

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, salt, baking soda, pepper, aniseeds, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed cream butter, sugar, and molasses until fluffy. Beat in egg. On low speed gradually add flour mixture and beat just until blended. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease baking sheets. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch sized balls. Place balls two inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • When cookies are cool enough to handle, but still warm roll in powdered sugar. Transfer cookies to cooling racks to cool completley.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pfeffernusse cookies, but these were actually really good. The spices were well-balanced and the cookies were not too dry.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less ginger next time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I was hesitant to try these cookies. But I'm so glad I did! They are so delicious and the anise flavor is not overpowering at all.
