The ones in the tin boxes that are exported from Denmark all taste about the same, but there are many personal recipes and they can vary quite a bit. The Danish name for these cookies is vaniljekranse and there are many Danish recipes (opskrift) on the Web in Danish. You can use Google Translate Danish to English to read them in English. The measures are based on the metric system, so you might want to get some metric measuring cups and spoons. You'll need a piping bag, or comparable electrical appliance that can act like one.
Too weird that you posted this. I actually just caved, took a chance and bought 2 tins of these same butter cookies right before Christmas at Walgreens. It was a BOGO deal so I scored both tins for only $2.50.
The rest is history because they sure didn't last long. They were D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.!

They are very easy to make at home.
Thanks. My grandfather was Danish and I grew up eating those cookies.
Some of those recipes have almonds. I don't remember that from the tin cookies.
I didn't know there were so many. Thanks for sharing
Or take a bit and while it's still in your mouth take a sip of coffee.
You're most welcome! I was not aware that there were so many types either. If I ever see or notice them in stores I have only ever noticed the plain butter cookies which are obviously their best seller.
And, I am not a dunker of these cookies either. I don't like to eat them soggy. I like to take a good bite of their light crispiness first, savor the buttery goodness and then chase it with a drink of coffee or green tea.
I'm not sure how I feel about there being additional flavors.
It was always iffy at my grandmother's when we saw a tin. Would it be cookies? Or a sewing kit? Or coupons? Or mass cards?
My cousins and I were so often disappointed...
