Peppernuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. brown sugar
2 c. butter
1 c. sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. black pepper
1 c. chopped pecans
8 1/2 to 9 c. flour

Preparation

Cream sugar and butter; beat eggs and add to sugar mixture. Add cream.
Sift together all dry ingredients.
Add enough flour to make soft dough (not sticky).
Mix well.
Chill dough 4 hours. Roll dough into long rolls, about 1/2-inch diameter.
Cut into tiny pieces and bake on cookie sheet at 350\u00b0 for about 8 minutes or until slightly brown.
(Cutting is much easier if the long rolls of dough are frozen.)
