These cookies are absolutely splendid. To help settle the name debate – I’ve seen a few people get it right in the comments section, and a few get it wrong. I suppose you could take it from me (seeing as my last name is Kjeldsen) that the pronunciation is indeed “kelsen”. This is what was taught to me by my grandfather who grew up in Denmark. Hopefully that can help settle this.

Janette, I am based in Manila so I am not familiar with retail sources in Australia, but at least one reader above seems to be able to get them in Melbourne. I would guess a Target or more “downscale” food hall rather say David Jones might carry these…

Do you know where you can buy Kjeldsen biscuits in Australia? Once upon a time especially at Christmas you buy them at most supermarkets, recently there have been other brands available but not Kjeldsen brand. My mothers maiden name was Kjeldsen and her parents were were born in Denmark. I would love to be able to buy and share these biscuits with my children.

Regards and thanks for a great article.

Hi guys,

The secret of why danish pastries taste so good is that they use organic ingredients which is not mentioned in the label, but they do in denmark and almost their foods is organic. Kjeldsen is pronounce as “kelsen”. With the last letter s stands for ‘s in english but in danish there’s no apostrophe. Kjeldsen is a common lastname in scandinavia. Kjeldsens cookies is ok taste for me but if u buy cookies straight away to the bakery in denmark… it tastes so much better! That’s y i love to leave here in Copenhagen. It’s so peaceful and everything is free (except food.. hehehehe).

becky, thanks for your comment. But I am not connected with Kjeldsens… wasn’t that obvious from the write-up? Or did you bother to read it before tapping out a comment? You can contact the company directly at the link provide in the write-up above.

I just bought your new product in Hong Kong – Mini Shortbread Cookies, Mini Biscuits Sables (250g) and found it terribly hard to open the container, in fact, i’m still trying to open it by a “can-opener”.

I’ve been enjoying the cookies of this brand since i was a kid and wish you’d reconsider the packing of this product !

Ha! I work for Maersk in the US and we get Kjeldsens butter cookies for Christmas every year. I never knew they came in the “famous blue tin” because ours always had a personalized Maersk tin. I love them, though! They’re oh so good! Unfortunately, I can’t eat too many either though, because the company has a “maintain, don’t gain!” (as in weight) program during Christmas that I signed up for.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one who liked them with Coke! (Although now I have them dipped in low-fat, high calcium milk, being preggy and staying away from softdrinks…) I have fond childhood memories of dipping these cookies in Coke and making sipsip the Coke before finally biting off a piece. Particularly enjoyable after a summer swim with my playmates. Amazing what memories food can stir up! :)

We always had these cookies when we were kids. Am not really fond of them… but my mom likes them though.
