Recipes are photos 2 (ginger snaps – center) and 3.
I’ve been making this pfeffernuesse recipe with my mom and sisters since I was a kid for my dad to take into his German students at the holidays. The dough can hang out well-wrapped or in a ziplock in the fridge for weeks before rolling.
I was gifted the 1910 Gold Medal flour cookbook Sunday and wanted to use it immediately. I chose the snaps because the recipe comes together just like the pfeffernuesse. It rolled very easily, did not stick, and baked perfectly at 375F for 9 minutes (turning/switching pans at 6.)

My parents would make about 6-8 cookies and goodies to give out during the holidays. I never liked too many of them, but Pfeffernuesse and Lebkuchen were my least favorite. However, have you ever seen a recipe that says to let them store overnight then put 1 drop of brandy or kirch on top before baking to make the top puff up? The resulting shape is like a tiny Saturn – shaped cookie.
