Best Eggnog Kringla Cookies Recipes

KRINGLA COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, egg, and sour cream.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the cream mixture and combine completely. Dough will be a little sticky.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Divide dough in half and return 1/2 to refrigerator.
• On a floured surface, form dough into a 18" long roll with your hands.
• Cut off a narrow (1/2" more or less) slice of dough. Roll lightly with hands on lightly floured board into a pencil width strip about 7-8" long.
• Create a figure 8 and pinch the ends together to fasten securely.
• Place on lightly greased baking sheet or one topped with a silicone baking mat. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake 8-9 minutes or until just barely lightly golden.

EGGNOG KRINGLA COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and soda, and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In a large bowl beat butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and beat well.
• To the butter/sugar/egg mixture, stir in half of egg nog. Then stir in half of flour mixture. Stir in remaining eggnog and then flour mixture. It will be very stiff.
• Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
• To make them quickly, drop them by small spoonfuls on a baking sheet. To make them in the traditional manner: Working with 1/3 of dough at time (keep the rest of the dough chilled), separate dough into 1-inch balls and roll between floured hands into a pencil-like shape, about as long as your hand. On a baking sheet loop one end over the other to form an oval with two ends overlapping (to look like the Christian fish).
• Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes before edges brown. They won't look done, but they are.
• Sprinkle with nutmeg and powdered sugar.

KRINGLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the sugar, beaten egg and sour cream together. Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt. Blend thoroughly.
• Divide dough in half and form each half into a long roll. (Note: If your kitchen is warm, keep the half of dough you're not working with in the refrigerator.)
• Cut off a narrow slice of dough. Roll lightly with hands on lightly floured board into pencil-like strip about 7 inches long. Form into a figure "8" , and pinch ends together. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes.

KRINGLA II

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the heavy cream and sour cream. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Let the sour cream mixture come to room temperature. It should take about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar, shortening, and egg yolk together using an electric mixer. Stir the vanilla and baking soda into the sour cream mixture. Stir the sour cream mixture into the bowl with the sugar and shortening until well blended. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter until fully incorporated.
• Place the dough on a well-floured surface, as the dough will be sticky. Use ping pong ball sized pieces of dough, and roll out into an 8 or 9 inch rope. Form into a 'lazy eight' or 'infinity sign', and pinch the ends together. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until slightly brown. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days, or 1 month in the freezer.
