Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder)

SUBMITTED BY: Milk Teeth

"These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two to three baking sheets.
  2. Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well blended. Mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough gathers together. With floured hands, pinch off small, 1/2 teaspoon amounts of dough, roll into tiny balls, and place on prepared baking sheets.
