Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, folding gently with a spatula until combined and a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until the dough is smooth. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 7

Separate the dough into small, golf-ball-sized portions (about 1–1.5 tablespoons each) and roll each into a thin rope approximately 6 inches long.

Step 8

Shape each rope into a wreath by forming a circle and pinching the ends together gently to seal.

Step 9

Place the shaped wreaths onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Optional: Once cooled, dust the Kringla Swedish Wreaths with powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
