This fail-proof recipe churns out super-delicious Danish cookies that are buttery and rich.
The secret ingredient is heavy whipping cream which lends an intense milky aroma and creamy flavour to the cookies.
Remember to use cake flour as it helps make the cookies crispier with a perfect texture.
The cookies taste just like Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies in the familiar blue tin that many grew up with and loved.
Every bite transports you to cookie heaven!

Tips
- To achieve a rich, creamy and milky flavour, it is strongly recommended that you use heavy whipping cream. You may use regular whipping cream too.

- For best results, use metric measurements.
