Dybbelboller.

This is a very old Danish recipe and in Denmark the butter cookies are actually called Dybbølboller, boller in Danish does actually mean buns. However, this is not a bun, but Dybbelboller is another Danish Butter Cookie.

This recipe is an original recipe from a bakery called “Kræmmerhuset” in Haderslev a town about 50km North of the German border in Denmark, the bakery closed in the late 1980ties and most of the Danish butter cookie recipes on this website is original recipes from this bakery.
