Vaniljekranse are one of the most famous Danish cookies. They consist of a simple buttery dough which is extruded into long strips and then formed into small circles. These traditional cookies are distinguished by a light taste of vanilla and the addition of ground almonds, which make them incredibly crispy.

They are usually baked throughout December, and whether enjoyed as a dessert or given as a present, vaniljekranse cookies are one of the favorite Danish Christmas traditions.
