White Wine Cookies
White wine cookies are excellent cookies for dunking in coffee or tea. The recipe is perfect for beginner bakers as they are easy to make. Only 7 ingredients!
Servings: 18 - 20 cookies
Calories: 100
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour , see note 1 (280 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar , see note 2 (100 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- salt , a pinch
- ⅓ cup olive oil , see note 3 (70 milliliters)
- ⅓ cup white wine (70 milliliters)
- powdered sugar for coating, see note 4
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add olive oil and wine and mix with a wooden spatula. Form into dough (this can be done in the mixing bowl or you can knead the dough on your worktop).
- The dough will be oily. Roll it into a sausage and cut equal size pieces. You should get about 18-20 pieces (about 1-ounce/30-grams per piece). With your hands, form these into balls.
- Using your finger or the end of a wooden spoon, make a hole in the middle of each ball and stretch the hole slightly more, without tearing it. (Alternatively, roll each ball into a 5-inch/13-centimeters long sausage and pinch both ends together).
- Place the cookies onto a baking tray lined with baking paper/silicone mat. Bake at 350°F/180°C for 15-20 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Cool down completely before coating in powdered sugar.
- Keep in an air-tight container or Ziploc bag!

Notes
- All-purpose flour (US) = plain flour (UK).
- If you can, use granulated sugar that has fine sugar crystals (like salt). Some countries sell it as castor sugar or superfine sugar (it is not powdered sugar).
- Use mild or regular (cooking) olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil would be too over-powering. As a substitution, either sunflower or vegetable oil can be used.
- About 5 tablespoons should be plenty for coating.
- Storage: Store them in an airtight container on your counter (up to 5 days) or in a Ziploc bag in your freezer (up to 3 months). They only need a few minutes to thaw but can be enjoyed right away – however, they will be harder to bite so be careful or simply dunk them in your coffee/tea.
