The holidays are a time for baking and never more so than in December.
In fact, baking is so popular during the festive season that America celebrates two significant dates in the culinary calendar.
The first, Bake Cookies Day takes place on December 18th and National Pfeffern?sse Day quickly follows on December 23rd.
Pfeffern?sse are small, round German spiced cookies. The cookies, which made their way to the USA thanks to German immigrants, are a Christmas holiday tradition.
They are baked with ground nuts such as walnuts and almonds along with spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, and cloves. The cookies are then dusted in powdered sugar.
It's thought these sweet and spicy little bakes link to the feast of Sinterklaas which is celebrated in the Netherlands on December 5th and in Belgium and Germany on December 6th.
While National Pfeffern?sse Day is celebrated on December 23rd, it's on Christmas Eve that girls and boys in America, and beyond eagerly await the arrival of Father Christmas.
While in the UK it's customary to leave Santa a glass of sherry and a mince pie, in the USA jolly old St. Nick can look forward to milk and a cookie.
