Pepper Nuts - Cookies (Pebernoedder) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon orange peel
2 cups all-purpose flour (275 g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add egg and orange peel.
Mix remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and stir into batter, do not overmix.
Gather the dough until smooth and divide into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long thin roll 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut the roll into small pieces - approx 22 pieces per roll.
Roll into small nuts (if you are lazy or short of time you can skip this step, although rolling make for a nicer looking cookie).
Place the 'nuts' on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minute.
