Hmmm, I'm not sure how valuable this recipe is. Here's the thing. They ARE addicting, but they are NOT fabulous tasting (maybe they're only addicting to us carbo-holics???) I WILL make them again, but mostly because the cardamon is so expensive that I don't want it to sit in the pantry and go to waste, since I doubt I'll use it for anything else. They are not "all that", which I was hoping for after reading other reviews. They are, however, a good "fill-in", I guess you could say. They're tiny, kind of plain, nothing to look at, but they will vanish! The dough, however, does seem to be very versatile with lots of potential and possibilities.

My husband is from Denmark so I like to try recipes that he may have had as a kid. When he says something tastes just like home, I know it's a keeper. We couldn't keep these cookies around long enough. I made them as the recipe suggested and they were perfect. Thanks!

Very edible little bites that are a great filler cookie for holiday plates. The unique bite of the cardamom makes them almost refreshing and very easy to pop into your mouth one after the other. I think they are versatile enough to merit the addition of a wide variety of tasty decorations. The one change I suggest after making the recipe several times is baking them an additional two minutes to make the outside of the cookie just a touch more crispy without betraying the soft shortbread insides.

this is great and easy to make. My only complaint is that it makes a huge mess in the stove. You may want to line your pan with something.

These cookies are great! I could eat them all year round. I rolled the dough out and cut them with tiny cookie cutters and they looked so great. If you choose to roll them out I'd suggest using icing sugar cover the surface, not flour (mine ended up tasting a bit too floury). Also these cookies didn't expand on the pan at all so I was able to put a lot more on the pan to save time.

This is one of the cookies my Scandinavian grandfather used to make every Christmas that made memories in my family. Grandpa passed away 4 years ago, and was too frail to make them for at least a few years before that. So, it's been a long time since I have eaten one. I knew the ingredients, but didn't know the ratios. Thank you so much for posting this. I did double the cardamom and cinnamon, and added a dash of ginger and cloves. I am giving this recipe a 4 because it's missing two vital ingredients to traditional Danish Pebber Nodder, which I just played with until I felt the taste was just right. It was roughly 1/2 tsp of mace, and 1/4 tsp of white pepper. I made these for my annual cookie exchange. They were so good to snack on and they made perfect neighbor gifts put into small mason jars with pretty ribbon and a homemade tag. Thank you for giving me back an old family tradition, and giving me a fond way of remembering my grandfather.

These cookies are FABULOUS!!!!!! My family loved them! My boyfriend was the only one who would have given them less than a five, but he is sorta picky. They are super simple. As is they are delicious, no changes needed, but I would add maybe a half a tsp more of the cinnamon and cardamon to give it some extra kick. Will definitly make these again.

Fabulous little delights. Even people who never heard of cardamon, loved the taste of these morsels. They definitely have a great shelf life as well. I had one tray of baked pebber nodder sitting out uncovered for 2 days, and they tasted as fresh as if they just came out of the oven. Great cookie.

Om, im not sure what i did wrong because i can definately not roll these into balls...they were too sticky and runny for that. Regardless, i just used a spoon and dropped them on the cookie sheet and they came out sort of like little pancakes...delicious but not how they were supposed to turn out...

These are really simple. My son doesn't like cardamom so I just added 1/2 tsp. each of cinnamon, cloves & black pepper. I just rolled into little balls and baked- they don't come out that pretty so I dipped each tiny cookie into dark chocolate to pretty them up. They are great with tea and to give away as gifts.

This recipe was easy up to the point of rolling the dough into ropes - then it got frustrating. I finally figured out that the dough was slipping and not rolling because there was too much flour on the counter surface. I ended up using hardly any flour to roll the dough into ropes, then I placed each rope on a lightly floured surface to cut it into "nuggets". They cooked perfectly and their shape makes them irresistable! The only other problem - and it's a major one - is the flavor. The cardamom was not tasty at all to me. I actually threw the cookies away. :( Then I made the dough a second time, omitting the cardamom and using 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract instead with the cinnamon. I do not like the dough and I probably won't even cook it. Oh well. I do not recommend this recipe and will never make it again. It gets a 2-star rating because the dough is easy to mix up, and I think it would be possible to find a flavor that works well. Maybe just a hint of vanilla and that's it. I don't know... Good luck.
