Norway's Best Pepper Cookies image

This recipe is from the Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Cookies and recipes were handed out at a cultural event that my family attended a few years ago. All Norwegian homes must serve at least 7 kinds of cookies at Christmas. This recipe is different from other pepperkaker recipes on this web site because it calls for cream and does not use eggs. So it's great for any who can't eat eggs. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of pepper in cookies, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The cookies are delicious and the pepper flavor is very subtle.

These cookies were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use half the amount of pepper.

These pepper cookies are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, and the texture is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.
