Grossmutter's Peppernuts image

Before Christmas, my grandmother would bake peppernuts and store them until the big day. When we came home from school, the whole house would smell like anise and we knew the holiday season was about to begin. -Marilyn Kutzli, Clinton, Iowa

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these peppernuts turned out terrible. They were dry and crumbly.

These peppernuts were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have any flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of peppernuts, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! These cookies were surprisingly delicious. The pepper flavor was subtle and the cookies were perfectly crispy.

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

These peppernuts turned out amazing! They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The flavor was perfect - not too sweet and not too spicy. I'll definitely be making these again!
