Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality flour.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Pebernødder are a delicious and traditional Danish Christmas cookie. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These tips will help you make perfect pebernødder that will be a hit at your next holiday party.
