• Add the wine and oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix them together with a fork until they are well combined into a stiff dough. It is a light red, rather odd color.
• Pinch off about 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll/pull it into a 7-9 inch cigar or pencil shape.
• Form the cookie into a circle, bowtie, figure eight, or spiral. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle a bit of sugar on part or all of the top. alternatively, roll part of the cookie in sguar, just enough to lightly coat it. Place the cookie on a parchment or silicone mat-lined cookie sheet and repeat with the rest of the dough.
• Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom and slightly hard to the touch.
• Let them cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
