These are family tradition for my mom. Hers were with honey and about 30 drops of anise oil, though... and yes, of course cardamon! The dough sat in the fridge for a week before baking. Most years, we made them in September to age. The real treat: one year when a very well-packed tin went missing...to be found the next year while tree-decorating... they were the best I've ever tasted. But we couldn't manufacture that patience :)
My kids love Pfeffernüsse! Their dad is German and we’d buy a bag of them every week. I haven’t made my own but I might give it a go!
