Peppernuts are tiny spiced cookies with a chewy gingerbread texture.
Their tiny form and light brown color resemble nuts, hence the “nuts” part in their naming.

Peppernuts are, especially in the winter holiday season, quite popular in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.In the Netherlands peppernuts are often confused with the somewhat similar, but crunchier kruidnoten (spicy nuts) which more resemble “speculaas” cookies.
