Black Pepper Peppernuts

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together sour cream, egg and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices. Slowly add flour mixture to creamed ingredients. Mix well. Add additional flour if needed for the dough to come together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze dough.

On a floured surface, roll portions of the chilled dough into “ropes” or “snakes” about 3/8 inch thick. Line up the snakes on a plastic wrap-lined cookie sheet, cover with more plastic wrap and freeze.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350ºF and remove several “ropes” from the freezer. Slice into 1/4-inch sections and scatter them on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining dough.
