Have you ever had a Pfeffernüsse? As a special request from my husband, this was my first time making them… And wow, let me just say these are fantastic! They have a lot more zing than gingerbread, making them a bit more of an “adult” cookie that goes great with coffee or something stronger.
Try them out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

- Roll into 1 and 1/2 inch sized balls and place on a baking sheet, flattening slightly if desired. Bake time is 15 minutes for all 30 cookies.
- Allow to cool for 20 minutes, then frost or drizzle with chocolate glaze.







Is the Vitafiber in the recipe the syrup or the powder?
It is the syrup!
I’m allergic to coconut is there anyway to make them without coconut?
You’d want to use cassava flour. I’d use 2 cups to start.
I was wondering if you put the dough in for 2 two hours intervals or 1 two hour interval. The recipe in both step 3 an 4 say to wrap the dough and put in the refrigerator. Each time for two hours.
Is this correct or is there a typo?
Thanks for your response to my first question.
Thanks

I have not been able to enjoy pfefenusse since i became gluten intolerant, and now i am also keto – what a joy it is to savor on my holiday favorite – These were super yummy, tasty and easy to make – 2 questions
Please tell me below
what is the breakdown of fat, carbs and calories in these? im doing keto code by dr. gundry – all the ingredients are good, i just need break down of carbs..fat, calories etc? Thank you:)
These look great – what can I use instead of Vitafibre syrup? I don’t need them to be keto – can I use honey?
Hi, when I click on the link for the vita fiber it brings me to a product liquid allulose from wholesome. Is that the right product?
Thank you
