Traditional Butter Cookies


Butter. Cookies. Butter cookies. Need I say more? Maybe a little more.
I was going to eat only three butter cookies, the serving size listed on the box. But since I rarely follow that bit of information and there are five different kinds of cookies in the box, I ate a total of five. The things I do for this Web site. The cookies are crunchy (some crunchier than others), and crumble into light, buttery mouthfuls.

Each cookie has an official name. This one is the Butter Pretzel. It’s covered in flecks of sugar.

Harvest Moon is a plain butter one.

Currant Crunch has one or two raisins in it.

Another sugar-flecked cookie, Sugar Slice.

I’ve saved the best (to me, anyway) one for last, Vanilla Ring. It’s the one I reach for first each time I open a box of these butter cookies. Can you blame me?


I am embarrassed to say I have eaten a whole box of these in one day before. That is what, 24 cookies? Oh dear, LOL!!
I can eat the whole box of these in one day.
Jimbo: Yeah, that’s an easy thing to do. That’s why I buy a box of these cookies instead of a tin.

The vanilla ring was my favourite as well! I used to leave them in the fridge (because we lived in Singapore, where it’s humid and the cookies would get soft easily) for days just because I wanted to eat through them slowly, but most of the time my parents and brother got to them before I could finish them up.
Ah, memories. The brand I got was Royal Dansk. Mmm…I loved those giant pieces of sugar and the swirly one.
