word of the day: pfeffernuss

The word of the day is pfeffernuss:


a small hard highly spiced cookie made traditionally for the Christmas holidays (merriam-webster.com)


"To complement the fig, pistachio, and finocchio caprice, the chef whipped up an acidulous splash of hazelnut oil, oxalis, and lime juice, with a pinch of powdered pfeffernuss."
