Danish Wedding Cookies
Traditional Danish wedding cookies are a classic you don't want to miss.
An international favorite known by many names, Danish Wedding Cookies are probably one of the most popular cookie recipes out there. Covered with powdered sugar, every bite is absolutely incredible! Great with tea or coffee, pop the entire thing in your mouth for a little bite of heaven.
