The holidays (or having friends for dinner) bring all sorts of leftovers, including half-empty bottles of wine. This is a surprisingly tasty way of dealing with said leftover wine, and your kids, or office-mates if you take these cookies to work, will loudly demand more. An excuse to open a second bottle!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250 ml) wine of any kind
- 1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (220 g) sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 1/5 cups (500 g) flour
- A pinch of salt
- More sugar for rolling the cookies in
Preparation:
Work all the ingredients together, until you obtain a dough that's firm but fairly soft, rather like pizza dough. Roll it into snakes that you can shape into rings or S shapes, or into balls that you can flatten with the palm of your hand.Dredge the cookies in granulated sugar, put them on a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bake them in a 360 F (180 C) oven for 20 minutes. Cool them on a rack, and prepare to be asked for more.
