These look wunderbar (-spelling?). Had some store bought ones after Christmas. They are great. Would love to make my own but the ingredients will cost a bomb in Japan. Will buy some again later when I go to Germany.

My first ever pfeffernusse are chilling until morning so that I can bake them first thing tomorrow. My 7 year old nephew has a snow day tomorrow and I know he will love rolling them in the powdered sugar. Waiting a few days will be impossible but we may be able to save a few for Christmas morning if I can lock them away from my husband.

These cookies look perfect for Christmas. Looks very delicious with all the different spices. What a brilliant way to use a scoop to scoop the dough so that they come out even size. Thanks for sharing.

Every year arond this time, my sis gets cookie crazy. This looks similar to the cookies she made perhaps last christmas. I don't think she included the molasses or honey, so perhaps she didn't make an 100% authentic cookie. But it was delicious. I would have to share this more comprehensive recipe with her.

i remember the first time i made them! they were so hard and i threw them away – but then the grandma of my friend told me they were supposed to be at first and then become softer later. i kicked myself. ever since then i've made these a few times and i think they are the loveliest christmas cookies ever! they look absolutely great!

How lovely! I just tried these for the first time (store-bought). Great flavors but a little dry for me, so I bet freshly made ones would be just right.
