![]() ![]() ![]() It is a true family favorite and it has no butter or oil, however, it is still not hard like the gingersnaps. ![]() I am familiar with the Pepperneuse as it is a German cookie and I have my husband's grandmother's original recipe which is actually written in German. We only made these at Christmas, and usually not until the 3rd Sunday in Advent, but as I became older, we started making them as soon as Christmas time was near, as they are the favorite of many of the adults who prefer cookies that are a bit less sweet.Īnyway, good luck, I hoep you continue to enjoy the cookies yo umade already. in fact, they are very flat, especially after they cool, they rise a bit in the oven, then fall flat as they cool, sometimes even being a bit umm.concave (or is it convex, I forget which is which, now). I can fit 12-15 cookies on each sheet ( I have 2 different sized cookie sheets), and I have found that I just can not roll them out quick enough, between taking them out, removing them, and refilling sheets. I usually roll all the dough into balls before starting to bake, then I can get on with other things in between taking them out of the oven. They are pretty forgiving, so even if they are a bit more baked then you had planned, often you will be the only one that notices. Some notes: They darken after cooling, and I have had people mistakenly think they were grabbing a chocolate cookie. Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar, if desired. I have found they are easier to remove if you let them cool for a few minutes on the pan. So, roll into small balls (using about one teaspoon- not the measuring kind the kind for eating) place on a cookie sheet, and bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees f. Once it is well mixed, I refrigerate it for an hour or so, sometimes a day or so, if I forget they are in there! My motehr never chilled, I do, because it makes it easier to roll into the balls.

I beat the egg and sugar together, add molasses, shortening, and spices, then add the bakign soda and flour. I have not tried with using fresh spices. Honestly, I do not measure the spices, or, rather, I measure, then pour extra in the dough. I have never tried it with butter or oil, mostly because when I asked my mother why we melted crisco instead of just using oil, she said "because they do not turn out right then". It does have shortening, but you must melt it first. Doesn't appear that these are quite as spicey as the one you found later on, but here is my recipe, just in case you want to try it. I also make sure not to store with other cookies, as the strong flavor leeches out onto the neighboring cookies. I learned by trial once I was old enough to make cookies myself that the key to keeping these cookies crisp was not to store in an air tight container, as that softenes them up. These were quite crips, in fact crunchy, when first baked.
