Wine cookies! What could be more appropriate for me? Since I love wine, I sell Wine of the Month Club memberships. I should dedicate the cookie for my birthday to my passion!! WINE!!
When looking for this recipe I found that Wine Cookies originated in Italy, Spain and I think one recipe was from France. This Italian Wine Cookie recipe is said to have been handed down through many generations. This cookie is crisp, not-too-sweet, and is great with coffee or tea.

What You Need
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 cup dry red wine
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar for decoration
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Make the Dough
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add the wine and oil. Mix with a large fork and then with your hands.
Roll Out the Dough
Roll small pieces of dough between hands to make “logs” then shape them into circles. The circles should be no bigger than 2 inches in diameter. Roll cookies in extra sugar and place on cookie sheet.
Bake the Cookies
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until slightly brown. After cookies cool, they should be hard and crisp.
Variations
You can use White Wine instead of Red Wine. Also, substitute Powdered sugar for granulated sugar. I would even use red or green sugar crystals for these cookies at Christmas. NOTE: If you use Powdered Sugar bake the cookies then let the cookies cool before you coat them in the Powdered Sugar.
