Cookies for Christmas: Pfeffernüsse


This is my third year making Pfeffernüsse - it's become my Christmas tradition. And I just found out these are my father's favorite cookie so I'm happy I'm making them for someone who likes them just as much as I do! They are so delicious and get more so as the days pass!

A lot of recipes call for shortening, but I hate using that so I've opted to use this recipe, which is tried and true three times over. Also, some family friends are German and have approved these cookies - so I think I'm doing good by Germans and non-Germans!

These have such a taste of Christmas, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Here's the recipe!
