    Soetkoekies ( Spicy Wine Cookies), Yum! Spices, sugar & wine all together in a cookie Soetkoekies are of Dutch origin and have been a favourite South African biscuit-tin filler for many years Posted for ZWT 2006 – South African region From: The Cookie Tin, Great cookies! I made 1/2 batch I had the same problem as toni – the dough turned out very soft, even though my butter was very cold, my egg merely average-sized and I did measure the wine right! 😉 I went ahead and baked the first batch anyway, and got rather porous-looking cookies that spread this way and that – so I added about 2 tbls flour to the remaining dough (=1/4 recipe) Much better! And even though the first 9 cookies look a bit weird, they too taste wonderful! A spice cookie with that little something extra Used a 1-inch cookie scoop and got exactly 18 cookies Thanks for sharing the recipe!
