Browsing through my mom's cookbook, I found a very particular recipe, with her comment in which the words "EXCELLENT" were reported. These are very light wine biscuits, prepared without butter or eggs, but with flour, pine nuts, almonds, vanilla and wine! I will tell you that at first I was a bit skeptical about the result, but the flavor and lightness of these easy sweets won me over! Let's prepare them together!

Some variations
As an alternative to white flour, you can choose other flours, such as whole wheat flour, spelled flour or kamut flour. Almonds and pine nuts can also be replaced with other dried fruit of your choice.
Those who want to get puffy biscuits can add a pinch of instant yeast to the dough.- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C (ventilated).

Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
These cookies have a unique flavor! Maybe it doesn't look like it, but I invite you to try them at home: I am sure that you will all be conquered by their taste and no, the taste of the wine is not felt, if you are wondering, since the alcohol in it evaporates during cooking. !Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
