Pebber Nodder (Danish Christmas Cookies) Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time stirring until light and fluffy. Combine the flour cardamom and cinnamon; stir into the sugar mixture just until blended.

Separate the dough into 6 balls and roll each ball into a rope about as big around as your finger on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
