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 bit too sweet for my taste, but I still liked them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The spices are well-balanced and the cookies are nice and chewy.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them. Next time I'll bake them for a few minutes less.

These cookies were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less ginger next time.
