4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup butter (do not use margarine)
1-1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup dairy or nondairy eggnog
sifted powder sugar
ground nutmeg
In large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream butter, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg and mix well. Add the flour mix and eggnog alternately to the sugar/butter mix. Cover and chill at least 4 hours. Dough may still be sticky but it is a soft dough.
Preheat oven to 350F. Take out half the dough at a time (leaving rest in the fridge). On a lightly floured surface, take one tablespoon of the dough and roll into a rope shape (about 1/2 inch thick and 8 inches long) On an ungreased cookie sheet, place the rope in a loop, cross one end over the other. Make the shape slightly oval. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Remove cookies and cool on wire rack. While still warm, sprinkle tops with powdered sugar and nutmeg.

I have made kringla for years and so has my mom. This is a twist on it because we make it with sour cream intead of eggnog. These are great and my family said they taste like their grandmas sugar cookies even though they are a norwegian bread. We make them in figure 8's. I will make these again, thanks for the recipe.

I absoulutly love this cookie, its wonderfull with a cup of hot cocoa. I'm sooo gratefull you have this in your collection! However, I would make one change/suggestion. DON'T pre heat your oven right away (as when the recipie says)untill after you've chilled the dough, otherwise you'll have your oven on for 4 hours!!!

Thank you for having this recipe! I had lost it, too. It is just like the Kringla my Norwegian grandmother made, but with an eggnog flavor, which I love.
