What does Pfeffernüsse mean in German? The name literally means “peppernuts”, and does not mean it contains nuts. The cookies are roughly the size of nuts and can be eaten by the handful, which may account for the name. German for “pepper nut“, Pfeffernüsse are named for the pinch of pepper added to the dough before baking.
Is Pfeffernusse the same as gingerbread? Yes and no. Gingerbread cookies are not pfeffernusse. Pfeffernusse uses a very different spice blend. Regular gingerbread cookies don’t add black pepper to the mix
