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.
Recipes
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!
