Pebernødder - Peppernuts

These are so ingrained in Danish christmas tradition that we even have games and idioms involving them, although most people won't ever have tasted the real thing but only the industrial processed version. A cookie which is sorely lacking in the very thing that gives them their name and make them special: Pepper. The real thing is a sweet, crunchy bite-sized cookie with a nice, mild peppery hit at the end.
