Croatian Pepper Cookies (paprenjaci) Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Keep lard 20 minutes on room temperature to become soft. Put lard into flour; add sugar, triturated walnut, yolk, and honey, cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg and pepper. Make crisp dough out of it.
  • Leave the dough 1 to 2 hours in cold place.
  • Make thin (up to 5 mm) flat surface and cut cookies with your wooden mould. If you do not have one, use your mould you have for other cookies (stars, rabbits, ducks, Santa’s etc.).
  • Put them on greased surface and bake them on 180°C about 15 minutes.
  • Serve with hot tea.
  • You can vary spices but be careful: no spice should prevail. I am not sure about number of cookies you will get, depends how big your mould is.

    These cookies sound delicious! I love sweet treats that have a spicy kick to them. In the USA. we call cookie moulds "cookie-cutters," just to be cute. Thanks for posting, I love recipes from other countries and cultures.
