Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We're big wine drinkers during the holidays. I'll go with a Cabernet Sauvignon before a cocktail or beer. We'll finish off a bottle no problem and then open another one, but there's often a lot left from this second bottle. Sure, we could put the cork back on and/or put it in the fridge, but how about using the leftover wine in a cookie recipe?
This is a recipe for Wine Cookies, or Biscotti al Vino. Basically it sounds like sugar cookies only with a cup of wine of your choice added in. Cheers!
Wine Cookies
1 cup (250 ml) wine of any kind
1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (220 g) sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
5 cups (500 g) flour
A pinch of salt
More sugar for rolling the cookies in
Work all the ingredients to gether, 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.

I'm not sure what the recipe is, but the package lists "wine" as the very first ingredient. They are very small - not much larger than a quarter. The texture is kind of like very thick graham crackers. Not soft, chewy, or doughy. They are sweet - not quite dessert sweet, but sweeter than crackers. The white wine ones were seasoned with some cayenne, IIRC. They were very tasty with cheese and tapenade.
