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.
Baking in an Airbnb? Yes, You Can
Even while traveling, baking something familiar can make a place feel instantly more like home. If your Airbnb has:
- a basic oven
- 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.
