About Pepernoot

Pepernoten are small, spiced cookies traditionally enjoyed in the Netherlands during the Sinterklaas holiday season. These bite-sized treats are made using a combination of rye or wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Pepernoten have a dense texture and mildly sweet, aromatic flavor that pairs well with tea or coffee. Although not particularly low in calories, they provide an indulgent taste of Dutch culinary tradition. While the spices used in pepernoten can offer antioxidant benefits and promote digestion, their sugar and fat content make them best consumed in moderation. As part of festive celebrations, pepernoten represent a nostalgic treat rather than a health food, making them an occasional delight for those who wish to enjoy the flavors of Dutch culture.
