Why it is renowned
The Vanilla Ring is one of the five shapes Royal Dansk calls its classic blue tin cookies.1 Rings are among the most popular shapes in Danish butter cookies, which Denmark exports above all to the United States and Asia.2 Royal Dansk calls the wreath-shaped ring its signature cookie.3
The story
The ring is a wreath-shaped butter cookie, light and buttery, flavoured with vanilla.3 Butter cookies of this kind are made from butter, flour and sugar, and twisted shapes like the ring are piped from a bag.2 It is baked in Denmark, at Royal Dansk's factories in Nørre Snede and Ribe.1
