Indulge in the warm, spiced goodness of Pfeffernüsse, traditional German cookies infused with cinnamon, ginger, and honey. Perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy evenings with a cup of tea.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking powder, and chopped almonds until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch.

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. 6

    Once cooled, dust the Pfeffernüsse with powdered sugar before serving.
