Christmas Cookie Edition: Pfefferneuse

1/2 c. butter
4 c. brown sugar
4 eggs
4 c. sifted flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cloves
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. crushed cardamom (or 1/2 t. crushed black pepper)
1/2 c. crushed walnuts (or almonds)
1/2 c. mixed candied fruit (or candied ginger)
16 oz. can frozen OJ (not diluted)
granulated sugar

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time and beat. Sift together dry ingredients (flour, powder, soda, salt, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and walnuts) and add to batter. Chill for 6 hours.

Roll 1/2 ” thick. Cut each cookie 1″ and rolls into round balls. Wrap in cellophane and freeze overnight. Dip one side into thawed OJ, then into sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Best if kept in a container for about a week before sharing, as the flavor improves with age. Slice an apple to put into the container to keep the cookies softer.

Grocery List:
butter
brown sugar
eggs
sifted flour
baking powder
baking soda
salt
cloves
nutmeg
crushed cardamom
walnuts (alternate choice: almonds)
mixed candied fruit (alternate choice: candied ginger)
frozen OJ
granulated sugar

Approximate Cost: $8.65

Why the NAME?

I believe that Martha in the Bible learned to sit at Jesus’ feet by the time she spoke that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life when Lazarus lay in the tomb. She was still very much Martha, though. So she learned to put the pre in preparation in her home.
