You whisk together all the dry ingredients, add in the melted butter, molasses, anise extract and one egg. Beat it all together until it’s nice and combined and then roll the cookie dough into balls. Pfeffernusse Cookies are traditionally tossed in powdered sugar or occasionally topped with a glaze/icing.
Beat in eggs. Combine flour, white sugar, brown sugar, anise, cinnamon, cardamom, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add molasses mixture; stir until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate dough until well chilled, about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
