Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Special Equipment Needed:
- Rolling pin
- Pastry brush
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Electric mixer
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.
5. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle.
6. Place one circle of dough on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Spread the raspberry jam over the chips.
7. Place the second circle of dough over the raspberry jam. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with water.
8. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 16 wedges. Starting at the wide end of each wedge, roll up the dough. Place the rolls on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
10. Place the confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl. Working with one kringle at a time, dip the top of each kringle into the confectioners’ sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
