7. Mennonite peppernuts

(different from the above-posted Pfeffernuesse)

Cream 1/2 C butter and 2 C brown sugar
Add1 1/2 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 2 tbsp. hot water
Add 2 eggs
Mix 3 1/4 C flour, pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. or more anise seed
I like to add some ginger, allspice and a grind or two of pepper
Chill dough overnight
Roll into 1/2" rolls (like rolling Play-dough snakes ) They should end up being the diameter of a nickel or thereabouts
Freeze the rolls
Slice and bake 5-8 minutes at 400 degrees. They are best baked crisp but you don't want them overbaked. I can get 6 dozen on a half baking sheet.

This year I have baked four half sheets and have dough rolls for two or three more.
