German-Style Cookie Mixes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's New Pfeffernüsse Cookie Mix is Perfect for the Holidays

— November 29, 2020 — Art & Design
If you're looking to step up your holiday cookie game this year, Trader Joe's Pfeffernüsse Cookie Mix can help.

For those unfamiliar, Pfeffernüsse are tiny spice cookies that are popular in Germany, as well as other European countries like Denmark and The Netherlands. Trader Joe's version of the recipe starts with a flavorful dough mixture made from real molasses and wintry spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves. To prepare the cookies at home, all you need to do is add egg and butter. You then roll the cookies in powdered sugar (included with the baking kit) for that traditional Pfeffernüsse finish. As Trader Joe's explains, "Each box makes 30 belly-warming, pleasantly chewy, fantastically flavorful cookies."
