recipe reviews for:

Norway's Best Pepper Cookies

“This recipe is from the Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Cookies and recipes were handed out at a cultural event that my family attended a few years ago. All Norwegian homes "must" serve at least 7 kinds of cookies at Christmas. This recipe is different from other pepperkaker recipes on this web site because it calls for cream and does not use eggs. So it's great for any who can't eat eggs. Enjoy!”

I enjoy making these at Christmas because they're quite different from the usual fare. Yet, not as different as you'd think.....

My son had to make cookies for an around-the-world christmas party at school. These were surprisingly good!

Excellent recipe, I left them in the fridge over night and baked the next day. Everyone that has tried them just loved them. I cut back 1/2 tsp on the cardamon, added an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and some fresh ground pepper, and they really tasted great.

I had been looking for a recipe that was similar to my Grandma Judy's Norwegian Pepper Cookies recipe. This was it!!!! Delicious, and exactly how I remember them from when I was little.

I baked these cookies for my daughter's Girl Scout event. Had never heard of them before, but they are really good. For someone who isn't usually a baker, the recipe could have been clearer -- I made the dough two days before baking , which was fine, but the cookies fall apart when removed from the cookie sheet. They do taste yummy though!

These cookies are awsome. I love the peppery after taste. It takes a few minutes to get the full effect of the spices, but they are truly fabulous.

These are delicious! Even before they were baked. I forgot to add baking powder, but I doubt that affected the taste much. They're really easy to make, which is always a plus. Even my boyfriend liked them, and his tastes are radically different from mine, and he made a face at the idea of pepper cookies when I told him I was going to make some.
