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.
Havregrynskugler (Oat Cocoa Balls)
These quick and easy havregrynskugler are so delicious! They have a rich chocolate flavor, and rolled oats give them a great texture. We love making them for the holidays!
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!
Brunkager (Danish Gingerbread Cookies)
Brunkager are a classic Christmas cookie in Denmark. “Brunkager” literally means “brown cakes” or “brown cookies,” but we call them Danish gingerbread cookies.
Æbleskiver (Danish Pancake Balls)
Christmas, or Jul in Danish, is a big deal in Denmark. If you have ever found yourself anywhere in Scandinavia in the winter months, you will understand.
