I love pizzelles,my father lived in florida after retirement and every xmas early dec. he would ship me 12 dozen different flavors to serve to my clients. I was a nail tech and always baked and had goodies for them at every visit. But for many the holidays became heaven when Elmer sent the pizzelles for the clients. I have since learned to make them and make them every year, eating and giving them away in my fathers honor. I miss him terribly and the holidays are the worst. He also like to make pepporoni buns and all 5 of his children and friends loved them. I will share a few recipes in the next day or two so everyone can enjoy things I love to bake. thanks for listening, its the holidays and the tears are ready to flow, love ya dad

does anyone have a recipe for the Danish sugar cookies that come in the blue tins?

Do you bake the both the same?

My Recipe: Drive to the store, buy Danish cookies in tins, take them home, make coffee and Enjoy !!

I love those Danish butter cookies!! and I usually don't like store-bought cookies.

I am so excited. I just bought myself (early Christmas) a Kitchen Aid mixer. Last year a friend gave me a recipe for spritz cookies. You know, the kind you put in a cookie press? Well I tried it last year and they did not come out near as good as hers. Found out she used a stand mixer. When I tried my hand mixer it bogged down and quit within 15 seconds, and my arm gave out trying to mix the dough by hand. This year I am armed and ready! I even bought the green and red sugar crystals to decorate. These cookies are not real sweet, but light and delicious. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

OK What Blue tin cookies?

I love sugar cookies- any kind.

Did she say what blue tin cookies ? Oh you don't know what you are missing : ) They are usually in the drug stores and maybe at Walmart during the Christmas season.

yes, they are usually in a cobalt blue tin and say "Danish" somewhere on them. Several varieties in one tin.
