The Search

Of everything
There is so much more than a name
There is so much more than an age
There is so much more than what you see
There is so much more beyond me

Peppernuts!

This is such a funny little cookie....  They're great to have around during the holidays, and one recipe will make a ton of them......They're very addictive and one can't help but dip in the bowl for a handful every time you walk by.....:)  They're also in the candy picture, in the big crock behind the wrapped taffy's.

Peppernut Cookies

1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 eggs
6 to 7 cups flour
1 tsp soda & 1 tlbs. hot water
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cream of tarter
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. anis oil
3 cups walnuts  (put in blender to chop fine)
1 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

Mix all ingredients.  Chill dough for an hour at least or over night.  Cut a slice off the dough and roll thin like a pencil.   Slice into tiny chunks  (tip of little finger size or smaller).
