PFEFFERNUSSE COOKIES
I have searched far and wide for a recipe that mimics my favorite, store-bought version of these cookies. I think, after days of thrown-out cookies, I have come as close as I can get.

GERMAN SPICE COOKIES (PFEFFERNUSSE)
German for "pepper nut," pfeffernusse cookies are named for the pinch of pepper added to the dough before baking. It joins a quartet of warm spices -- cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.

Steps:
- Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar, and molasses on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Pinch off a heaping teaspoon of dough, roll into a ball, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining dough, spacing balls 1 1/2 inches apart. (Dough can be frozen at this point, covered tightly with plastic wrap, up to 1 month.)
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are golden and firm to the touch with slight cracking, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze: Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and kirsch, if desired. Using a fork, dip each cookie in glaze to coat. Tap to remove excess glaze and place on wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining cookies.
- To decorate: While the glaze is still wet, top cookies with a small pinch of peppercorns, if desired. Alternatively, let glaze dry completely before mixing together luster dust and kirsch with a small paintbrush. Lightly brush tops of cookies with luster dust mixture, if desired. Let dry before serving. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- 1. This cookie seems difficult but if you prep everything a head then all you have to do is throw it in the bowl. So, candy the orange peel, zest and juice the lemon, measure the spices, and use a food processor or nut grinder to get the nuts to a coarse grind.
- 2. Cream the butter, sugar and egg.
- 3. Add molasses and vanilla, stir to combine.
- 4. Add candied orage peel, lemon zest, juice, and spices, stir to combine.
- 5. Slowly add flour and nuts.
- 6. Cover and refrigerate over night.
- 7. Shape into 3/4 in. balls (or scoop with sml cookie dough scoop) onto greased or parchment lined cookie sheet.
- 8. Bake at 325 F for 15-18 mins. until cookies are set and bottoms are LIGHT golden brown. They will firm as they cool. Over baking will result in a hard cookie. Let cool on cookie sheet for a minute then place on cooling rack that is over a sheet of foil.
- 9. TIME TO GLAZE: Mix lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth with the consistancy of warm honey. Hold cookie by bottom and dip the top portion in the glaze, replace on cooling rack. Glaze the cookies while still warm.
- 10. CANDIED ORANGE PEEL: Cut top and bottoms off oranges so they can sit flat. With a knife or vegtable peeler cut the skin off the orange so that it has a little of the pith as possible. Pulse in the food processor until coarsely ground.
- 11. To make the peel less bitter add to a pot of boiling water. Boil 1 minute, let stand 10 mins. Strain through sieve.
- 12. Bring sugar and water to a low boil. add the peel and simmer 3 mins. strain through sieve and spread out on waxed paper. Let dry.

GERMAN PEPPERNUTS (PFEFFERNUSSE)
Pfeffernusse are a traditional Christmas spice cookie that's very tiny. The tradition is carried on by Mennonites in the US. This recipe yields almost rock hard little nuggets. My mother remembers her grandmother placing one cookie at a time on a teaspoon, slightly dunking it down into her elegant china cup of tea, and waiting a moment until it softened. I grew up eating them by the handful--no dunking needed. When I was a kid, we would make gallons and they kept until February. They can be attractively bagged to make gifts.
