11 Christmas Kringle Cookies Twisted Shapes

Classic Cinnamon Twist Kringle

Classic Cinnamon Twist Kringle is a delightful pastry originating from Scandinavia, perfect for the holiday season or any festive gathering. This twist on the traditional pastry is filled with sweet cinnamon, making it an irresistible treat that pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea. The flaky dough, paired with a gooey cinnamon filling, will have everyone reaching for seconds.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy. Then, add the melted butter, eggs, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of flour slightly. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which should take about 1 hour.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined to create your sweet filling.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion of the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick, on a floured surface.
6. Add Filling: Spread half of the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
7. Form the Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make cuts along one long side of the dough rectangle, about 1 inch apart. Leave about 2 inches uncut at the opposite long side. Starting from the uncut side, gently twist each strip over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid-like effect.
8. Repeat Process: Repeat the rolling and filling process with the second portion of dough.
9. Second Rise: Place the braided kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover it with a towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until slightly puffed.
10. Preheat Oven: While the kringles are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the kringle with the beaten egg to achieve a golden-brown color during baking.
12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
13. Cool and Glaze: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow cooling on a wire rack. To make the icing, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled kringles.
14. Serve: Slice the kringle and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Classic Cinnamon Twist Kringle with friends and family!

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy. Then add the melted butter, eggs, remaining sugar, and salt, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals (about 30 seconds), stirring after each interval until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
6. Roll Out the Dough: After the dough’s first rise, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Add Filling: Spread half of the coconut-almond filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Drizzle some of the melted chocolate on top of the filling, reserving a little for later.
8. Form the Twist: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough rectangle lengthwise in half, creating two strips. Twist each strip, creating a braid-like appearance.
9. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the twisted kringle to a greased baking sheet, forming a circular wreath shape (if desired) or simply placing it in a line. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the Oven: While the kringle is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Egg Wash: After the second rise, brush the top of the kringle with the beaten egg wash to give it a golden finish.
