Ojee sorry, ik had het natuurlijk kunnen weten aan de hand van de eindeloze herhalingen van 'Dag Sinterklaas' met Bart Peeters op Ketnet... ;)

I made these and they were delicious! I am going to take them to my cookie exchange next week. I didn't have cloves or aniseeds so I made them without and they were still delicious. I am going to pick up those spices before I make them again. Thanks for sharing!

@Kelly well this isn't exactly a Christmas tradition because we do Christmas as well. A busy month for us December!
@Martina I heard the Danish have them too and I know (because I lived there) in Norway you have 'Pepperkake' which taste very similar to my Pepernoten. Must be a North European thing. :)
@Margaret I'm sure Sinterklaas 'emigrated' with many Dutch folks to Canada and Australia etc. I'm guessing the little song you mentioned was 'Sinterklaas kapoentje' :)

Thanks for the recipe. My parents are from Holland and we did this as kids growing up in Canada. We even sang a little song and I still know it! I can't wait to try to make these as we got them in our shoes :)

Strangely they called (translated) the same in Germany, really dont know why, because no pepper in it. Never tried to bake them, but yours look delicious so maybe I will try your recipe.
And yes I think in most of the parts here in Germany "Nikolaus" puts sweets and presents in the shoes in the night from 5th to 6th December too. Greets Martina
