This evening Joshua had his first taste of eggnog. Then we baked some yummy Dutch treats called 'pepernoten' (pronounced paper note in) translated pepper nuts. They are kind of yummy gingery, cinnamon little cookies. Very crunchy and great with hot cocoa or coffee!
The first sip of eggnog after which he declared......
.... "I wike dat!"
Pepernoten dough is kind of dryish.
You roll them into snakes and then cut small 1/2 inch slices.
Put them on the cookie sheet.
Gently press them with one finger. (Only one time Joshua!!)
Voila!!! They are addictive!
