Italian Wine Biscuits
Perfect with a dessert course of fruit and cheese, Italian Wine Biscuits are lightly sweet with subtle flavors of red wine, black pepper, and a bit of salt.
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1 egg lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center and add the vegetable oil and wine.
- Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To form the biscuits, pinch off 1-inch balls of dough and gently roll into a small log about 1/2-inch in diameter.
- Bring the ends together to form a circle and pinch to close.
- Place the formed biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with the egg-water mixture.
- Bake for 12 to 18 minutes until solid and slightly crisp on the outside.
- These cookies do not really brown, so test them after 12 minutes and time them according to your personal taste.
- Cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.
