Red Wine Sesame Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Put the butter and sugar into the bowl of a mixer and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time with the mixer running and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat. Next, add the flour mixture and beat until well incorporated.
• To form the cookies, divide the dough in half and roll into logs 1-inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 3-inch lengths. Dip each piece of dough into the cream and then roll in the sesame seeds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place in the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let cool and serve. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a food processor blend together the flour, sugar, salt, black pepper and the baking powder, add the wine and the oil and blend the mixture until it just forms a dough.
• Divide the dough into 24 pieces, roll each piece into a 3 inch-long log, and press the ends of each log together to form a ring.
• Arrange the rings of dough 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake them in batches in the middle of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bottoms of the biscuits are turning golden.
• Transfer the biscuits to a rack and let them cool for 5 minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Place cookies at least 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Turn the oven off and leave the cookies inside to crisp. These cookies will keep for weeks in an air tight container.
