December 23rd is reserved for this German spice cookie. It is National Pfeffernusse Day.
Very
popular around the holidays, pfeffernusse are fluffy cookies made with
ground nuts and spices and covered in powdered sugar.
The
exact origin in unknown however the Dutch believe that pfeffernusse (or
pepernoten) are linked to the feast of Sinterklaas, which is celebrated
on December 5 in the Netherlands and December 6 in Germany and Belgium.
As I am Dutch I eat pepernoten at Sint Nocolaas.
We have pepernoten and kruidnoten, but most people call them both pepernoten.
