Peppernoetter(Peppernuts) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cubes margarine or butter, softened
1 1/4 c. sugar
3 c. white flour (approximately)
2 Tbsp. cream
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cardamom
1 tsp. finely ground black pepper

Preparation

Cream the sugar and margarine.
Stir in the cream.
Sift in the flour and baking soda. Stir well.
(It may be a little hard to stir; you might want to work in with your hands.)
Sift together the cinnamon, cardamom and pepper.
Add and stir well. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls.
Place on greased cookie sheet 1 1/2-inches apart.
Bake at 350\u00b0 to 375\u00b0 for 10 to 12 minutes.
Cookies will flatten out a little, but they will still be rounded and plump.
