Friday Night Links Pfeffernuesse Edition is all about a cookies and links! This time of year, pfeffernuesse is eaten in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands. It is a small round biscuit, spicy in taste and many recipes call for ground nuts. Some even have a chocolate base. There are many variations, but all are best with a hot beverage of choice.
By the time this is published, it is fitting that I will be eating some pfeffernuesse and a hot beverage. It seems equally appropriate that you may choose to have some too as you read the various posts I am featuring in the Friday Night Links. In the interest of full disclosure, I was not compensated for this article in any way by bakeries or cookie manufacturers. If there is anyone who would like to send me some though, I promise to eat and enjoy them. I don’t remember when I came across these wonderful little cookies, but I just love them. Whether you make them or buy them, they get better with age. I thought I would use pfeffernuesse as a way to introduce my Friday Night Links this week because I love pfeffernuesse and this week’s variety of articles.
Food of the holidays and Friday Night Links should be enjoyed! This makes a good segue to today’s picks for Friday Night Links.
The following articles caught my attention:

The selection of blogs is up to the committee of one established by krantcents as a representative of the Academy of Frugal Journalistic Writers. That committee can be influenced by meaningful comments, signing up for my RSS feeds, backlinks, links, trackbacks, Facebook Likes, Twitter, Re-tweets, Digg, StumbleUpon, delicio, Yahoo Buzz, Google Bookmarks and other social media.

I read more than five hundred (500) articles a week and I highlight just five (5) in my Friday Night Links. Is Friday Night Links Pfeffernuesse Edition only all about the cookies and links?

December 19, 2011 at 4:55 amThose cookies are yum!! My daughter and her friend just made snickerdoodles… and they were great. Oh, I love home made cookies.

December 19, 2011 at 5:26 amFresh baked cookies smell so good right out of the oven! They taste pretty good too. It is tough to pass up a cookie place in the mall when they take out the fresh baked cookies too. Pfeffernuesse remind me of the holiday season because they are generally popular this time of year.
