German Pfeffernusse Cookies

Langkah-langkah

1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses, water and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda and salt/pepper. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir in the nuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Place some more powdered sugar in another shallow bowl. Place some paper towels or waxed paper under wire racks. Move the cookies to the wire racks to cool for 5 minutes. Dip the tops of the warm cookies in the glaze, allow the excess to drip off, and then dip in the powdered sugar. Cool completely on the wire racks. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container. These cookies freeze well too.
