Here are the pfeffernüsse that I made. I made these so that I could give a few to some diabetic friends. I used the same recipe I make snowballs with - with 3 oz of ground nuts - and I added the spices to it, for the Pfeffernüsse. But I also used palm sugar - not great, but better than other sugars for diabetics - and barley flour and some dark bessan (chick pea flour), these flours made in the Vitamix. I also put 1 tsp xanthan gum in, for 2 1/2 c of the flours, and it gave the cookies enough body, though these aren't the types that rise much - like shortbread. I just made them in the food processor, with cold butter. Pfeffernusse, the ones without dusting. by pepperhead212, on Flickr
