Butter Cookies in Tins

Decorative tin filled with pastries on a conveyor belt in a bakery packaging line.

Some things never go out of style. Butter cookies have been enjoyed for generations, and at Jacobsens Bakery, we have been baking them the traditional way since 1962.

Today, we are a trusted name among cookie lovers worldwide – yet we still use the same recipes and all-natural ingredients we started with.

What Makes Our Butter Cookies Special?

It starts with honest ingredients and recipes that have stood the test of time. We have never taken shortcuts, and we have never compromised – because a good butter cookie does not need us to.

Baked with Fresh Butter

Our butter cookies are made with fresh butter, fine flour, sugar, and a handful of other natural ingredients. That means no preservatives and no artificial additives. Every batch is baked at our facility in Hedensted, Denmark, following recipes that have remained unchanged for more than 60 years. The result is a cookie with the crisp yet delicate texture that Danish butter cookies are known for.

5 Classic Signature Shapes

Every tin of butter cookies from Jacobsens features our 5 classic signature shapes, each offering a slightly different texture and eating experience. These traditional forms are instantly recognizable to butter cookie lovers around the world – from the classic ring to the iconic pretzel twist.

Beyond the Classic – The Tivoli Range

For those seeking something different, our Tivoli range combines chocolate, dried fruit, caramel, and other flavors with crunchy cookies. This collection offers variety while maintaining the quality Jacobsens is known for.

The Butter Cookies Tin

There is a reason butter cookies come in those distinctive metal tins. Metal shields the cookies from moisture, air, and light, keeping them fresh and crisp whether they are shipped across the ocean or stored in your kitchen for weeks.

Designer Tins and Seasonal Collections

Jacobsens Bakery was the first to introduce designer tins and embossed designs in the butter cookie category. We offer collections for every occasion: Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, Halloween, and everyday enjoyment.

And once the cookies are gone, the tin often finds a new purpose – storing buttons, craft supplies, or small treasures.

Choosing Quality Butter Cookies

Not all butter cookies are created equal. Knowing what to look for helps you find a product worth buying – whether for yourself or as a gift.

What to Look For

When selecting butter cookies in a tin, check the ingredient list first. You want to see butter listed prominently, not margarine or vegetable oil. Shorter ingredient lists typically indicate a more traditional recipe.

The tin itself matters too – a well-made tin protects the cookies and reflects the care that has gone into the product inside.

The Jacobsens Bakery Story

What sets Jacobsens apart is more than 60 years of Danish baking craftsmanship – and a commitment to innovation that never stops.

Our Heritage

Jacobsens Bakery was founded in 1962 by Mr. Sigurd Jacobsen, starting as an import/export company before growing into a full manufacturing operation by 1984. Today, we are known in the industry as "The Innovative Bakery" and export to markets across the world, from the USA and Australia to Japan and Mexico.

Our Standards

Our production facility holds BRC and IFS certifications, ensuring that every tin meets the highest food safety standards. We are also FDA registered for export to the United States. Our commitment extends to responsible sourcing through RSPO-certified palm oil and Fairtrade-certified cocoa.
