Red Wine Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons red wine
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes with a hand mixer.
  3. Add in the egg and red wine, mixing until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should still be soft.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Enjoy these delightful Red Wine Biscuits with a nice cup of tea or coffee. They make great gifts and are perfect for parties, bringing a unique twist to your dessert repertoire. Happy baking!
