Pevarini

Pevarini (misspelled peverini in one notable source) is a traditional pepper cookie of Venice, Italy. It is traditionally made with molasses, lard, white pepper, and flour. Modern recipes for pevarini often use butter as a substitute for lard. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are common additions to the cookie.

Pevarini take their name from pevare, which means 'pepper' in the Venetian dialect.
