RED WINE COOKIES (CIAMBELLINE AL VINO ROSSO)

Steps:

• Place the flour sugar salt and baking powder in a large bowl and combine.
• Stir in the oil and wine until evenly blended.
• Roll the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured board and make ropes cutting 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick pieces and then making circle rings, twists, fish shapes, or just leave them as sticks if you like.
• Dip them on both sides with the granulated sugar.
• Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and baked them in the preheated oven at 350 degrees.
• When the bottoms look caramelized slightly and they are a golden color they are done.
• This takes approximately 20 minutes or longer.
• Cool completely and store in thick freezer locking bags or an airtight container.

• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until slightly brown. After cookies cool they should be hard and crisp.
