Super cute hair!

[@Fumingzeus]

Jeg elsker pebernødder

[@alexandrasharp1882]

I’ve made them so we can play the game tonight, Christmas Eve, but mine have come out very flat, not sure what I did wrong 🤔 but they still taste delicious and we will enjoy eating them during the game 😃 happy Christmas to you all

[@IndigoNili]

Found it! Can't wait to do this with the kids! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL! That was quick! 💪😅

[@luciegallagher2710]

I have to say I’m loving these extras videos. Thank you so much. So glad Christmas bear played nicely!! Xx

[@tjloutzenhiser2503]

My fav. biscuit recipe. Been making them for over 50 years. Christmas isn't the same without them. Love the game. My boys are grown but I think they would enjoy playing. Love from Seattle.

[@jeannesabido3038]

2 cute! Will play with grandkids. Love your blouse. Very festive.

[@sss49l]

Love this video, but I love them all. You always bring a smile to our faces. Love the game. I'm definitely going to play this with my grandchildren this Christmas! Many, many thanks!

[@debbiew7496]

I find joy watching your videos and I laughed out loud when you were “helping” Christmas Bear eat the cookies! Go you!

[@ellenmoeller]

How fun!!!! I’ll be trying these because ginger and cardamom are my favorites!!! Thank you Diane! The game is lovely too!

[@reneep9968]

You are so lovely! You have a gift of making others feel at home with you. Thank you Diane for all you do to help us live a cleaner and less cluttered life. We totally respect your privacy and the privacy of your family. Blessings....

[@margaretarkes5137]

I will definitely try them and play the game with my niece and nephew. Thanks again for sharing this recipe

[@momof2momof2]

Love baking videos ! Such a cute apron ! I always have seasonal/holiday kitchen towels in my kitchen :) tfs 💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@Sonjaic]

Made this twice since Friday as they were promptly gobbled up by the family. Delicious!! Left out the pepper tho due to family preferences. The game Mus was very well received and is now asked for. Although being Canadian, Mus quickly degenerated into Moose! Lol thanks for sharing this recipe. It'll now be a tradition 😊

[@karencompton5926]

Peppernuts and Christmas tea...and Christmas crafting......or a good book read by candlelight....in front of the fire...bliss! *sigh*

[@DianeinDenmark]

Snow will be falling soon, to complete the backdrop 😆

[@karencompton5926]

@@DianeinDenmark This time last year we had already had the first snow fall! Winter coats and boots prepped....must do an emergency box for the car! ❄☃❄

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

This was too much fun, Diane! I love all your videos and especially hearing about other people's traditions. I bet you guys had so many good memories playing this game. Not to mention the recipe sounds delicious. I am trying my hand at a couple of cooking videos and my family does not want to be on camera either. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us.-----Tressa Daigle

[@ranyaziko2318]

Thanks for sharing another recipe Diane. Looks like golden caster sugar ,yummy 😘

[@gretabrown1983]

What an adorable game to play. Thank you for explaining it so well. My son would definitely cheat so he could eat all the cookies 🍪 Homemade is so much better than store bought. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

[@jigglywigglyjello1276]

These sound like my favorite cookie Pfeffernusse. Yummy!

[@annarussell3751]

Looks wonderful!! I love spicy cookies!!

[@sss49l]

These came out so delicious and we've already played the game. :)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yay...and the best part is - everyone wins!

[@mandyfortune7992]

Another great vid di .....you really make my day x

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, thank you, Mandy! ❤

[@DianeinDenmark]

RECIPE You’ll need: One egg 125g of sugar (I used demerara today but you can use white, granulated sugar. Muscovado sugar would be too intense.) Beat these together in a bowl until you get a pale yellow frothy mixture. Then add this lot to the bowl: 250g plain flour 125g butter ½ teaspoon of baking soda (natron) ½ teaspoon of cardemom (stødt kardemomme) ½ teaspoon of ground ginger (ingefær) ½ teaspoon of cinammon (kanel) ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper Beat again, then scrape the mixture out of the bowl and pop into a plastic bag - leave in the fridge for an hour or so until the dough hardens up or freeze immediately. Cut off chunks of dough, then roll them into long sausage/worm shapes. Take a knife and cut the sausage into small pieces (about the size of a small cherry). Roll them into little balls. Place them on a baking tray (I always use baking paper for easy clean up) and pop them into a warm oven - 200c/400f. Bake them for about 10-12 minutes until they look dry and are beginning to turn a pale golden brown. And then find a friend and play the Mus ("mouse") game!

[@karencompton5926]

I have Pebernodder spices that I bought last time I visited my sister because she couldn't remember what was in them and couldn't find her recipe!! I might make her some and send them to her! She likes the little desk flags, so I'm trying to source a desk flag that has a Danish and a UK flag for her. I also have a garland of little wooden Danish flags on a string that I hang on my Christmas tree....would be nice to get Union Jack ones! Thanks for this Diane....you made me laugh 'helping' Christmas Bear xxx

[@yogilana3105]

caster sugar:) love the recipe, will definitely try it!:)

[@janetrugenius9345]

Love it! Fun :)

[@Julie-ok5fr]

What a neat cookie. With pepper being a savoury spice, I am intrigued. I love black pepper; I need to try these :) Oh! Baking soda just helps the cookies to rise; without it, they would turn out flat and hard and dense. I love the game too. thank you for sharing your traditions and recipes this Christmas season! Off topic: We had a record high temperature for December here of 70 degrees F (21 Celsius) a couple of days ago! I set my timer for 15 minutes and washed the outside windows with a swoosh of Windex and swipe of the purple rag. I got the 4 windows done in 10 minutes and had 5 minutes leftover to do the sliding glass patio door. So encouraged by the warm temps and cleaning success in record time, I headed to the front of our house and did the two front windows...10 minutes and done. It has dropped 40 degrees here since, and it is now 38 degrees F ( 3 Celsius) , just 2 days later. brrrr I am still trying to remember to pamper myself; THANK you for that reminder, Diane :D

[@DianeinDenmark]

Woo hoo, go you on the windows, Julie!

[@royalscribecomments1303]

I love butter too. Is there a difference in Danish butter and the British butter? You mentioned in on of your videos that you specially liked Danish butter.

[@HG-gr8sl]

Royal Scribe... I'm sure Diane has more experience in this department.... but in my experience here in Australia, Danish butter (and we do have a couple of Danish brands) is far more creamier and is higher in lactose... So when baking you are guaranteed a much richer taste and fuller flavour in your cakes and biscuits! My mum.. an avid baker... always insists on spending the extra money on Danish butter for her baking .. swears by it! I've tried going with cheaper normal butter... but mother always knows best... and I'm now convinced Danish is better! :)

[@margaretarkes5137]

Also like the french president butter. Really good

[@HG-gr8sl]

got me with all the spices in this one Diane- especially ginger and cinnamon! mmm mm!! Baking soda, a component of baking powder have the purpose of fluffing up your baking once in the oven... Will give a lightness to your cakes and biscuits by producing more air bubbles (CO2) once in the oven.. Something for trivia night! hehe... oh my!! the mus game is a great excuse to indulge in pebernodder... too funny:) Glad you enjoyed them Diane! Helen :)

[@Hakunamatata-xr3lk]

Great recipe! Looks a bit like the Dutch “pepernoten/kruidnoten” we eat during “Sinterklaas”. Mmmmmmm 😋😋

[@ivonnej6312]

Great recipe, thank you . All your recipes work to perfection, they have obviously been tried and tested hundreds of times. ( nothing more annoying that a recipe that doesn't quite work) It is called raw sugar Diane.😉

[@annmatheson4533]

Golden caster sugar! 😊

[@moniquegrier8865]

I really enjoyed this video! I have 3 kids (ages 3, 5, 8). Thank you for the tip to play with littles. Yes the littles would probably like to change their answers while playing. 😆

[@michellesunshinestar]

I got back from my choir concert, and I feel a little wired, might clean the kitchen a little. I managed to pick up my medication today at the pharmacy. It's 25 degrees Fahrenheit right now. I don't want to go out until my friend picks me up, and we're going to a holiday party for lunch.. I like pre-made cookie dough to bake.

[@monikamarsollek3493]

❣Hi, Diane, hahaha: I don't want you to to hang out on KZbin the whole day:-)))...thank you so much for sharing nødder recipe and game, love that! Obviously there are a lot of Danish Christmas traditions I didn't know. No more time now, I've to fix the dough;-), a lot of christmassy sparkles to you, Monika❣

[@sapphireblue5363]

I love the Dutch pepper nuts (pepernoten) from the store, and have never been able to duplicate the crispness and taste when I bake them myself. How do your home baked ones compare to the store bought ones?

[@DianeinDenmark]

The homemade ones taste 100 times better 😀

[@sapphireblue5363]

I will definitely try them!

[@michelesoto5919]

I’m not sitting! I’m ironing with my new iron! 🤣 my buhookie is getting smaller!!

[@karliepatterson2803]

How much flour? Thanks

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Karlie! Full recipe is in the pinned comment above - 250g of plain flour. Hope you enjoy them!

[@karliepatterson2803]

Thank you! I guess I missed it :(
