Vanilla Butter Ring Cookies or Vanillekranse, is one of my absolute favorite cookies. They are normally made and served during the entire December for Christmas celebration and is a part of the huge traditional assortment of Danish Christmas cookies. The cookies are sweet, crispy and crunchy from the chopped almonds.

Mulled Wine or Danish Gløgg
In December “hygge” is to enjoy a warm glass of good smelling, nice tasting, homemade mulled wine, or danish gløgg. Nothing taste more of Christmas then gløgg – and nothing can bring together family and friends than gløgg served with warm ebelskivers!
Danish Klatkager or Lump Cakes
When you say porridge especially Rice Porridge you also has to say Lump Cakes or Danish Klatkager. Those goes hand in hand. This recipe is a dear one from my childhood. I always always served this treat when visiting my grandparents as a child.

Frosted Lemonade
A refreshingly ice cold Frosted Lemonade topped with whipped cream is my part four in “when a best friend gives you a lemon…”
Lemon Cake or Danish Citronmåne
This, my first lemon post in many will be a classic Danish cake, the lemon cake or classic danish citronmåne! The Danish answer to the donut-eating movie picture of the American cops. Here comes the Lemon moon witch is straight translated from the danish name of the cake; Citronmåne.
Cold Buttermilk Soup or Koldskål
When it is summer and hot outside, it is time for a bowl of cold buttermilk soup or koldskål with Nilla Wafers (or kammerjunkere as we call them in Denmark). In my family we (mostly) have this as a dessert, but since it’s the kids and my summer favorite, we can easily eat it…
