It’s the holiday season! And with that comes a ton of holiday baking and of course, Christmas cookies. If you’re looking to host a Christmas cookie exchange, looking for unique ideas of what to bring to your friend’s or family member’s house, or just looking to *spice* things up this year with some different cookies, look no further!
Rødkål (Braised Red Cabbage)
Cabbage is a great vegetable and if you don’t like it, then it’s time to grow up! I’m joking, of course. You can choose not to eat or to eat whatever you want, but we are here to say that we love cabbage.

As we get further and further into December, I can feel the anticipation in the air. I am impatient for Christmas to come, as it is my favorite holiday, but it’s important to savor it.
Chokolade Kagecreme (Chocolate Pastry Cream)
If you ask us, the best filling for cakes and pastries is, undoubtedly, pastry cream. If you make it correctly, it is silky smooth with an amazing flavor and sweetness.
Smørrebrød (Danish Open-faced Sandwiches)

Leverpostej (Danish Liver Pate)
Somehow we have already reached the month of autumn turning into winter, even though I swear it was August yesterday! Halloween is over, which means it’s time to start thinking about…Christmas!
