A Cozy Dutch Treat You Can Make Anywhere

If you’ve ever spent time in the Netherlands during the colder months, you’ve probably come across pepernoten.

These small, spiced cookies are a traditional Dutch treat, especially popular during the Sinterklaas season. They’re warm, slightly crunchy, and full of comforting spices. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

For me, they’re a little taste of home, especially after years of living in Airbnbs.

  • a mixing bowl
  • a baking tray

You’re good to go.

Pepernoten are a fun, cozy recipe to try during a longer stay or a quiet evening in.
