Recipe for Gluten-Free German Pfeffernusse Cookies

  As I mentioned previously (maybe in another blog lol), I recall making delightful pfeffernusse cookies with my late mother-in-law.  I was young and pregnant.  She was compassionate.  Together we covered the entire top of her kitchen table with cookies in various stages of glazed-ness.   Then, as I remember, they disappeared for a while so they could mellow out.  Initially they are very hard, could crack your dental ware... I am not in the mood for another expensive trip to get my porcelain crowns replaced. Here is my  version of Pfeffernusse--vegan and Gluten-free-- it involves raw cacao powder so in truth they taste a little like a cross between the pfeffernusse and a scone (or in my humble opinion).   The spicy, peppery-ness fills the air with love when they bake.  You might want to listen to this music as you mix and bake them. 1/3 C. Molasses 1/2 C. Honey 3 T. Virgin Coconut Oil 2 "Flax Eggs" (Mix 2 T. Flax Meal in 6-8 T. Hot Water and let sit) 2 T. fresh
