Ingredients

Directions

  1. At room temperature 1 c Light or dark brown sugar, Packed 1 lg Egg 1 c Ground toasted filberts or Almonds 2 1/2 c All-purpose flour 1 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Baking soda 1 ts Freshly ground cardamom 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon 1/2 ts Ground cloves 1/2 ts Ground allspice 1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191&# 194;°C).
  3. In the large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar using an electric mixer.
  4. Add the egg and ground nuts.
  5. In another bowl,
  6. mix the flour with the baking powder, soda, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
  7. Blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until a stiff dough forms.
  8. Shape the dough into a ball.
  9. (At this point, you can
  10. wrap the dough in plastic
  11. wrap and
  12. refrigerate it to develop the flavor, for up to a week).
  13. Cut off a portion of the dough at a time and
  14. roll between your hands and a lightly floured work surface to
  15. make slim, ropes about 1/2-inch thick.
  16. Place 4 or 5 ropes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  17. Cut ropes into 1/2-inch pieces using a sharp, small knife.
  18. Separate the pieces.
  19. Bake for 8 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned and dry.
  20. Remove from the oven; cool on the baking sheet.
  21. I like to
  22. make these spicy peppernuts in quantity so that I can
  23. serve them in baskets - like you would salted nuts or candy.
  24. They add a wonderful, spicy aroma to the air.
  25. This is based on a recipe I received many years ago from a Danish friend.
  26. Although the mere idea of baking hundreds of nut-sized cookies sounds like an enormous amount of work, I've simplified the procedure.
  27. I just
  28. roll the dough into 1/2 inch thick strips and
  29. cut them into 1/2 inch pieces with scissors, dropping the dough bits right on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  30. I can bake a hundred or more on one baking sheet!
  31. The flavor of the peppernuts mellow and improves after being stored in an airtight tin in a
  32. cool
  33. place for 3 to 4 days.
