Pfeffernüsse
These small spicy balls always are striking with their dark
centers and light outsides. They are a holiday staple. I make
these cookies a few weeks ahead of time to help the flavors
develop and they store very well in an airtight container.
1/3 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 beaten egg
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
powdered sugar
Melt the corn syrup, honey, sugar, and shortening in a medium
heavy saucepan until the shortening melts and the sugar dissolves.
Cool until barely lukewarm. In a large bowl beat the egg,
then add the corn syrup mixture. In a small bowl whisk together
the flour and spices. Mix the flour into the corn syrup mixture
until well blended. Dough can be chilled at this time to develop
flavor for up to 48 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and
lightly grease cookie sheets. Taking 1 tablespoon of dough
for each cookie, roll into balls between the palms of your
hands and place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10
minutes or until just pale golden. Cool on wire racks and
dust with powdered sugar. Store in airtight containers.
