Peppernuts
A large batch of heavily spiced Christmas cookie dough: butter, milk and eight cups of sugar boiled to softball stage with cinnamon, clove and black pepper.
Before you start: This card stops right after the spices go in. The flour, eggs, chilling, rolling into logs and baking are all missing, so you'll need another peppernut recipe to finish it.
