I had a recipe for these I quite liked, which I lost. I found this recipe, ingredients looked similar, picture of cookie looks similar. This recipe is great and I love making this little cookie during the holidays! They are easy to make, bite size, you can bake practically the entire batch at once, great addition to a cookie box/platter. Great recipe! I doubled it. They taste great!

Shanna, thank you so much for sharing that! With my husband’s Danish heritage, I thought it would be a great recipe to include here on the blog for my children and future relatives. I’m so glad we connected through these cookies!
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season with your family and enjoy your Pebernødder!

I feel like nobody has ever heard of them. We lay ours round side up on the sheet to bake so they look more coin shaped in the end. And we always have to bake one tray softer and one tray crispy for the different preferences in my family. My Danish great grandfather used to eat them a little pile of them with a cup of coffee.

Thanks for letting me know, Kirsten. I love that story! Interesting that the recipe’s changed back home over the years, hunh? I love that you twist the dough for a different look. I’ll definitely have to do that next time I make them. Thank you!

Although when my sister went back to the old family farm in Europe she found that no one makes them like this anymore–they’re now softer, like the German pfeffernusse.
When we cut them we rotate them a quarter turn so they’re sort of trapezoidal. Don’t know why–just always have!
