Danish Christmas Cookies

open tin can with cookies

Every year, families around the world open a decorative tin and share the same buttery, golden cookies that have defined Danish Christmas traditions for generations. At Jacobsens Bakery, we have been baking them the same way for more than 60 years.

Each batch is made with fresh butter and all-natural ingredients, without preservatives, following the recipes that Mr. Sigurd Jacobsen created when he founded the company.

The Difference Behind Danish Butter Cookies

Authentic Danish butter cookies begin with fresh butter – not margarine or vegetable oils. At Jacobsens Bakery, we bake our cookies in Hedensted, Denmark, using only natural ingredients and never adding preservatives.

This approach produces the rich flavor and delicate, crisp texture that defines genuine Danish butter cookies. Many brands label their products "Danish style", but without these ingredients and methods, the result is not the same.

The Christmas Cookie Tin Tradition

The decorative tin has become just as much a part of the Danish Christmas cookie experience as the cookies themselves. Jacobsens Bakery was the first to introduce the designer tin and embossed designer tin concept in the butter cookie category, and we continue to develop new designs every year. For many families, choosing a tin has become part of the holiday tradition.

Festive Designs That Capture the Season

Our specially designed Christmas tins feature festive artwork inspired by the season. Our in-house design team works year-round to create new collections, from nostalgic winter scenes to classic Christmas motifs. Each tin is designed to be a gift in itself – something worth displaying on any holiday table or including in a gift basket.

A Tin That Lasts Beyond the Holidays

Once the cookies are enjoyed, the tin often finds new life in the home. Many families use them to store keepsakes, craft supplies, or homemade treats. The quality of each tin ensures it lasts for years, which is why so many people choose to hold on to them long after the holiday season has passed.

Danish Butter Cookies for Every Christmas Occasion

Whether placed on a holiday dinner table, wrapped as a gift for a colleague, or enjoyed with afternoon coffee on a quiet winter day, Danish Christmas cookies fit naturally into the season. Their light, crunchy texture and buttery flavor make them a welcome addition to any gathering. On a cold December afternoon, there are few things better than a cup of tea and a selection of butter cookies from a freshly opened tin.

A Gift That Travels Well

A tin of Danish Christmas cookies makes a thoughtful gift that is easy to share. The metal tin keeps cookies protected during transit, so they arrive just as crisp and fresh as the day they were packed. Whether you are sending a thank-you, surprising a loved one, or celebrating the season with colleagues, a tin of Danish butter cookies is always welcome.
