Known as Pebernødder in Denmark, peppernut cookies are found in all of the Nordic countries as well as Germany and the US. They are called "pfeffernüesse" in the United States, "pfeffernüssen" in Germany, "pepperkaker" in Norway, "pepparnotter" in Sweden, "peppernoten" in Holland and even "piparkukas" in Latvia. In South Germany, they are known as "Eiweißgebäck". They are also known as "Pimpernüsse" in some places.
These tiny ball-shaped cookies are full of spices and the ingredient for which they're named--pepper. Traditionally served at Christmastime, the Danish twist includes the use of white pepper rather than black and mace instead of nutmeg
