Kringla are traditional Norwegian-American cookies that are thick, pillowy soft, and shaped like a pretzel. My grandma used to make a variety of Norwegian goodies for Christmas, and once in awhile kringla cookies were included. In an era where baked goods often look like works of art, kringla may not stand out.
Add the baking soda, baking powder and vanilla and continue to beat on low speed until combined. Add 3 cups of flower and continue to beat on low speed until incorporated. When you are ready to make the kringla, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and move a rack to the top shelf.
Is kringla Norwegian? Kringla is definitely has Scandinavian roots. If you believe Wikipedia, then the Norwegian version is actually called “Kringle” (or ‘kring-al”) and the Swedish version is “Kringla”, but my very Norwegian family has always said kringla so that’s what I’m going with.
