The wine cookies will conquer everyone’s palate, even those who are teetotal like me.

The combination of flours used gives these cookies an incredible crispness.

Crispy on the outside and then melt in your mouth with every bite.

Simple ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, sugar, and anise seeds will contribute to the explosion of flavors you will experience when tasting them.

  • Portions: 15 Pieces
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 3/8 cup red wine
  • 1 tsp anise seeds
  • 1 3/4 cups type 2 flour
  • 1/3 cup re-milled durum wheat semolina flour (whole grain)
  • 3 tbsp whole cane sugar (you can use whichever you prefer)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (or seed oil)
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt (a pinch)
  • 2/3 oz almonds (one per cookie, if you like, otherwise nothing)

Tools

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Kitchen scale
  • 1 Teaspoon

Steps

  • First, measure the wine in a small pitcher or a small measuring jug and add the anise seeds.

    Let them soak for about ten/fifteen minutes.

    In a bowl, mix the two flours together and add a pinch of salt.

    Add the oil to the wine and pour everything into the center of the dry ingredients.

    Add the sugar, for me whole cane sugar, but if you prefer white granulated sugar, that’s fine too.

    For sweeter cookies, you can add another 30 grams of sugar compared to my dose.

  • Finally, add the vanilla baking powder.

    With a fork, starting from the center, begin to mix the ingredients until you reach the flour, gradually working from the edges.

    When it is no longer possible to mix the dough with the fork, use your hands to create the dough ball.

    With the dough ball ready, break off pieces and weigh them to make sure they are all equal.

    Each cookie weighs about 26 grams.

    With these quantities, you will get about 16/17 cookies.

    Place the cookies on parchment paper or a silicone mat.

    Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit and as soon as it’s at temperature, bake for about 21 minutes.

    After taking them out of the oven, let them cool slightly to enjoy their full crispness.

Tips for Storing Wine Cookies

The wine cookies can be stored in a glass airtight cookie jar and will remain crisp for two or three days and beyond.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
