DANISH PEPPERNUT CHRISTMAS COOKIES (PEBERNODDER)



Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder) image

These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks.
