Google "where to buy royal dansk cookies". (I would have pasted the link here but it brings up my "local" places to purchase them. YMWV)
I know Walmart, Target and Walgreens sell them. I do believe Office Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond sometimes sell them as well. And I think you can order them on Amazon and Ebay as well.
Just make sure to not purchase any knock-offs made in China, etc. Packaging should state something like "Baked and packed in Denmark for Kelsen, Inc, Melville, NY"
US Name: Danish Vanilla Cookies (on Google) and yes many of the danish recipes have almonds chopped up, very fine, in them, I haven't looked at the US variety. The ones I buy in Denmark from bakeries (not in tin boxes) pretty much taste the same, but not all the home-made ones.
Edible, but look at the ingredients and the transfats.
I think there are preservatives in them that won't be there if you make them yourself...
When I make them I use 100% organic butter, and vanilla bean paste... can't beat it. No RGH hormones in the butter and the vanilla taste is rich and smooth.
They sound delicious! How much do you charge for a 3 pound tin of them?
Saturated fats, but no trans fats. No preservatives or coloring added.
Actually this is not true for the Royal Dansk Danish Cookie Selection tins (blue & white tins). They do contain fractionated palm oil, which is a trans fat. The ingredient list is:
This differs from their more commonly available blue tinned butter cookies, which have the ingredients you listed, using butter instead of vegetable fats.
I was in Walgreens yesterday to pick up a RX. While waiting in line they had a strategically placed bin of both types of these Royal Dansk tinned cookies next to the queue area. Being hungry and bored, I picked up each to see if they were still made in Denmark. They were. But reviewing the ingredients of both tins, I decided to buy the blue tin of butter cookies because they didn't contain the palm & fractionated palm oils, but used butter instead (as the name implies).
Royal Dansk DOES use trans fat in some of their cookies. So you gotta be careful and read the ingredients before you buy. However their claim to not use preservatives or added coloring is true for all their products - which IMO is the lesser of the two sins (using trans fats vs. using preservatives/coloring).
I'm actually finishing off the last of them (breakfast of champions) right now. I never think to look for them except around Christmas...I wonder if they're always on the shelves year 'round?
I bought a tin of Royal Dansk cookies a few weeks ago. Big disappointment. I didn't realize that some are made in China. That probably explains why the cookies were not as buttery as they used to be, and a bit heavy on the flour.
