Over time, several bakers have developed their own pfeffernüsse recipes. Traditional methods called for various nuts, such as almonds and walnuts. Some modern recipes do not use nuts entirely along with the black pepper, instead retaining only cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom as flavorings. Bakers also sweeten the cookie with molasses and honey.
