I made these pfeffernüsse with a variety of different spices. I used cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. They turned out great! The different spices gave them a nice complex flavor.

I made these pfeffernüsse sugar-free by using erythritol instead of sugar. They turned out great! The erythritol gave them a nice sweet flavor and they were still nice and chewy.

I made these pfeffernüsse dairy-free by using almond milk instead of regular milk. They turned out great! The almond milk gave them a nice creamy flavor and they were still nice and moist.

I made these pfeffernüsse gluten-free by using gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great! The gluten-free flour gave them a nice light and airy texture.

I made these pfeffernüsse vegan by using flax eggs instead of regular eggs. They turned out great! The flax eggs gave them a nice eggy flavor and they were still nice and fluffy.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these pfeffernüsse with almond flour instead of walnuts. They turned out great! The almond flour gave them a nice nutty flavor and they were still nice and crunchy.

These pfeffernüsse are a great way to use up leftover gingerbread spices. I had a bunch of gingerbread spices left over from making gingerbread cookies and I was looking for a way to use them up. These pfeffernüsse were the perfect solution.

I made these pfeffernüsse with my kids and they had a blast. They loved helping me measure the ingredients and cut out the cookies.

These pfeffernüsse were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I'll probably add a little more moisture next time I make them.

These pfeffernüsse were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably reduce the amount of pepper next time I make them.
