Ciambella (Wine Cookies)

In a food processor whirl together to form a dough:

2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup white sugar*
1/2 cup wine (red or white)
1/2 cup canola, corn or vegetable oil
1 tbs baking powder.

Take about 1 tbs dough and roll into a log and pinch ends together to form a doughnut shape and dip into raw sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 325 oven for 15 minutes and then take from oven (LEAVE OVEN ON)Place cookies on a cooling rack and place the cooling rack back on top of the cookie sheet and return to oven. Close the door and then TURN OFF OVEN.

Leave cookies in oven for another 15-20 minutes to air dry with the remaining declining heat of the oven. Remove cookie rack from oven and let cool on rack.
Recipe can be doubled. I have also used brown sugar (not too packed) for this recipe with good results.
