Danish Butter Cookies, humble in their appearance, round, rectangular, in rings or pretzel shaped and stacked in their iconic muffin cups, are considered one of the most loved cookies in the world. Famous as they may be in the world, at home, in Denmark they are often preferred homemade. Homemade butter cookies occur in different forms. Often piped or rolled or flattened with a fork. The vanilla ring (vanillekranse) and coconut ring (kokoskranse) are common Christmas cookies. It is no coincidence that they are also the two most popular butter cookies in the tin. Popular Brands include Royal Dansk and Jacobsen, but the best Danish butter cookie recipes are family ones, made at home, like this copy cat Danish coconut Butter cookie recipe which uses egg.
