WINE COOKIES / CIAMBELLE AL VINO

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius)
• In a medium mixing bowl add wine, oil, sugar, salt and baking powder (add anise seeds if using) mix well, gradually add flour, a little at a time, until it all comes together.
• Transfer to a slightly floured flat surface and knead lightly approximately 10 times. Dough will be soft, so don't work it too much.
• Cut off a little dough at a time, roll into a small chubby rope (about 5 inches (13 centimeters long) and bring ends together to form a circle. Dip in sugar and and place on parchment covered cookie sheets, bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or golden in colour. Enjoy!

WINE COOKIES (ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• 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 small pieces of dough between hands to make "logs" then shape into circles. The circles should be no bigger than the 2 inches in diameter. Roll cookies in extra sugar and place on cookie sheet.

MULLED WINE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, cranberry juice and orange zest. Beat until combined; it's okay if the mixture looks slightly curdled.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, Chinese five-spice and salt in a large bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose dough comes together. Add in the food coloring and beat just until homogenous, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Using a 3/4-ounce scoop, make small mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the crushed cranberries. Bake until the cookie tops are dry and slightly wrinkled, 12 to 14 minutes.
