Sprøde Klejner (Fried Cookie Twists)
Christmas is coming up soon, and we are super excited for some much-needed time with family! We would say that one of the best ways to spend time with family over the holidays is baking cookies together.
Lussekatter (Lucia Buns)
December 13th is Saint Lucy’s Day (Luciadag), a Christian holiday that Scandinavia celebrates. It is an imported Swedish holiday in Denmark, so most of our traditions stem from Sweden.
Snebolde (Chocolate Marzipan Snowballs)
Happy December first! It’s the best month of the year (NOT up for debate, my friends) and we are so excited! December is a month of joy, family, snow, hygge, and most importantly, good food and plenty of sweets.
Romkugler (Chocolate Rum Truffles)
Christmas may be over, but that doesn’t mean we stop eating sweets! This awkward period between Christmas and New Year’s is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy life.
Finsk Brød (Danish Shortbread Cookies)
It’s December 24th, and we’ve been gearing up for this day for weeks! Tonight is the night that we Danes celebrate Christmas. And there is so much good food to look forward to!
Jødekager (Jewish Cookies)
These jødekager, or Jewish cookies, are one of our absolute favorite Christmas cookies. They’re pretty simple – a sugar and butter cookie as a base, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and chopped almonds.
Gløgg (Mulled Wine)
This is the BEST, most comforting drink you could possibly have in the winter months – Danish gløgg, also known as mulled wine. It’s delicious and warm, perfect for chilly weather!
Vaniljekranse (Vanilla Wreath Butter Cookies)
Vaniljekranse, which literally translates to “vanilla wreaths,” are a classic Danish butter cookie. They have a crisp, buttery texture, and lovely vanilla flavor.
Pebernødder (Peppernut Cookies)
Insanely popular in Denmark at Christmastime, these pebernødder are full of warm and delicious winter spices. They are amazingly crunchy and just so addicting!
