Pfeffernussse Day

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.
