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.

NEXT DOOR LADY'S KRINGLA (NORWEGIAN)

Steps:

• Beat all the liquids together well in a large bowl.
• Mix the dry ingredients together well in a medium bowl.
• Add dry ingredients to liquids.
• Then add either the vanilla or lemon extract.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Set oven to preheat at 400 degrees.
• The dough is very sticky.
• Using a tablespoon, scoop out about a'golf ball size' spoonful of dough.
• Having your counter or bread board covered with flour (it takes quite a bit to avoid having it stick -- ), drop the spoonful onto the flour and roll it enough to get all the outside coated with a thin film of flour.
• Then roll the dough like a thin (1/2" thick or slightly less) rope.
• Putting the rope on your pre-greased cookie sheet, twist the ends over one another one time.
• Bring the loop at the top down over the twisted ends.
• That should make the shape you want (a figure eight shape).
• Put about 12 on each cookie sheet, and begin baking.
• Put the first cookie sheet on the lower (not at the lowest level, though) rack in your oven.
• Bake for 6 minutes (be exact -- she set a timer!) then transfer that sheet to the top rack of your oven (if you have an electric oven with the broiler on top, don't put them very close to the heat).
• Bake another 6 minutes (exact -- ) and take them out.
• They should be lightly browned on both the top and the bottom, if you have the correct temperature in your oven.

KRINGLA

Steps:

• Start the night before by mixing together the heavy cream and sour cream in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth, then cover with cling film and refrigerate.
• When ready to start, set the cream mixture out to room temperature. Next, preheat your oven to 475°F (246°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a large bowl cream together the sugar, shortening, and egg yolk.
• Stir in the vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the cream mixture then transfer the wet ingredients into the creamed sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the flour until completely incorporated into the dough, which should be sticky when done. *You can chill the dough for an hour before handling it to make the next step easier if desired.
• Since the dough is sticky, use a well-floured surface to roll the dough out onto. Pull off roughly 1 1/2-inch ball-shaped portions of the dough and roll them in the flour to coat all sides. Then move them to the side of your working surface where there is less flour and roll them out to a rope shape (approximately 8-9 inches long). Shape the rope into an '8' or 'infinity sign' or fold over like a pretzel shape, or you can also shape them into round coils - but these take longer to bake.
• Place each shaped dough piece onto your prepared baking sheets then bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the bottom just begins to turn a light golden color. *Depending on the thickness of the 'ropes', the cooking time can be longer.
• Remove from the oven when done and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
