• 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.

ITALIAN WINE BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir wine and olive oil. In a large bowl, stir sugar, flour, baking powder, and fennel seed. Stir in liquids. Stir until well blended and a dough begins to forms. Lightly work the dough with your hands until the texture is oily, smooth, and springy. If the dough is too sticky, then mix in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour at a time, until smooth. Using your hands, pinch off a 2-tablespoon size piece of dough. Roll the dough between lightly floured hands. Roll into a thin cigar shape that is approximately 8 inches long. Form a U shape, then criss-cross the pieces until a braid forms. Place 15 biscuits per baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with egg wash. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating pans mid-way through. Biscuits should have a golden color and be crisp on the bottom. Remove from oven and place on a cookie rack to cool completely. Biscuits should be stored in an air-tight tin container (preferably tin to maintain their crispness) and kept in a cool area, such as a cupboard. Properly stored, they should last up to one month.
