Pfefferneuse
"I make these every year for my widowed father as a Christmas present. He loves their spicy flavor and if they get too hard, he will dunk them in his coffee. Don't leave out the white pepper... it makes for a special flavor. Also, it is not an omission that there is not fat in these cookies. My mother mounted this recipe on a 3x5 card and the source is lost to the mists of time...."
