I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

I've been making pfeffernuesse for years and this is the best recipe I've found. The dough is easy to work with and the cookies come out perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
