Recipe Monday - Italian Wine Cookies



These are an old family recipe, passed down from my grandmother. They are my favorite cookie of all time.


6 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1.5 cups sugar
1 grated lemon and
1/3 cup lemon or orange juice
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 glass (6 oz) white wine or rose
add chocolate chips (as many as you like!)

Mix flour sugar and baking powder; make a hole in the dry ingredients and put the wet ones in it. 
Mix well - Knead until it doesn't stick to your hands.  
Take a small amount and roll long then twist into a circle cookie.
Dip into granulated sugar.
Bake at 375* for 10 minutes
Add flour to make the dough less sticky, but not too much. Otherwise these will weigh down in your stomach. Trust me, I know. Hah. I halved the recipe. My family doesn't need more than two dozen large cookies at a time!

  3. I expected to see wine in the recipe, hmm... Why are those cookies called wine? I used to have fruits, sometimes cheese with wine, guess this habit had left from the times of my work as a writer of research paper for writing sites. Is it cookies for you?

  4. Italian Wine Cookies offer a delightful blend of flavors that beautifully complement the rich, robust notes of Bordeaux wines. The subtle sweetness and delicate texture of these cookies enhance the complex aromas and deep flavors of a good Bordeaux.
