Solvang Bakery

I love mornings in Solvang. It’s cool and quiet. I admire the classic Danish architecture.

On this morning I walked over to Solvang Bakery.

I have had Krinkles from Trader Joes. They were baked back east and shipped to the west coast. Looks like Solvang Bakery has fresh ones. Pastry shell had a crispy outer layer with a soft inner layer. Lots of almond paste to give this treat lots of almond flavor. Thin strips of icing add a burst of sweetness. Delicious tasting treat.

Danish butter cookies come in a plastic tub. You get 1 pound of cookies and different varieties are layered inside.

Top layer had a cinnamon flavored cookie which had a very tasty mix of sweet butter and cinnamon flavor. There was also a butter cookie with slivers of almonds. Mix of butter and light almond flavor was tasty.

2nd layer had a butter cookie with chocolate chips. Loved the mix of buttery and chocolate flavor. There was also another butter cookie with dark streaks in it. Tasted mostly like a buttery cookie. Very tasty.

3rd layer had more of the chocolate chip cookies and almond cookies which were full of almond bits and almond flavor.

I loved the fresh buttery aroma as I opened the tub to eat some cookies. These butter cookies had a nice crunch and were full of flavor. Much better than the grocery store tins. Solvang Bakery is the first Danish bakery I visited and is one of my favorites.
