These mild spice cookies, perfect for dunking, come from an old family recipe. The dough sits overnight to let the spices blend. The extraordinary flavors make these a holiday classic. —Betty Hawkshaw, Alexandria, Virginia

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I might try making them again with less pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of pfeffernusse cookies, but these are actually pretty good. They're not too spicy and they have a nice, chewy texture.
