Wilma: ‘This is a recipe that my grandmother and my mother taught me. I love simple recipes so much because they take me back to my childhood.’
Here's how to make the wine cookies
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients except the flour. Then gradually add the flour until you get a smooth cookie dough.
- You can shape them into your favorite form. Traditionally, Italians make small, irregular donuts (about 7 to 8 cm in diameter), they cover them with white sugar and bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
- They love to eat these cookies for breakfast with a glass of milk or tea or soaked in wine or at the end of lunch or dinner (like cantucci or something similar).
