Chinese New Year Cookie: Klassiske Vaniljekranse (I can’t pronounce either)

Klassiske Vaniljekranse or rather known as Danish Butter Cookies.

I baked these for Chinese New Year a while ago and I must say, they are so easy to make! It was literally, dunking everything into the mixer, beat and then voila! start piping, bake and cookie 🙂

I think these cookies are great for anyone who wants to learn how to bake something simple without throwing the fuss of asking “how long should I mix this, am I over mixing it ? Do I use a beater or whisk  ? Must I add the wet or dry first ? Why is it curdling ?” Ok I guess those are some of the questions a beginner would ask when trying to bake something.

So come this Mother’s Day, if you want to make something special for your Mom, but haven’t tried baking before. Why not try this cookies ? The ingredients are so basic that you only need to get the best of the best. Get GOOD quality butter and real vanilla pods. These gems will make a difference in your cookie and if it’s for someone special, don’t skimp on quality 😉

I adapted this recipe from monsieur Alan. Don’t forget, use real butter and real vanilla beans. There’s no denying, the aroma that fills up the house would be so utterly delicious that you wish it’s a permanent affair at every 3.15pm
