11. Paprenjak
Paprenjak get their name from the Croatian word for pepper, which this cookie contains in abundance. The addictive spicy-sweet flavor comes from both black pepper and honey, which are added to a basic cookie dough, which is then rolled out and stamped with different shapes before baking. This cookie can be found in bakeries, but is most common in Croatia at Christmas time.
