• Roll small pieces of dough between hands to make "logs" then shape into circles. The circles should be no bigger than the 2 inches in diameter. Roll cookies in extra sugar and place on cookie sheet.

RED WINE ICING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on low speed with a hand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy.
• Add the red wine and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add the powdered sugar in batches and mix until fully combined.
• Frost your dessert and enjoy!
• If you are not eating your dessert immediately, you can either pre-frost your dessert and place it in the fridge, or place the frosting in an airtight container and place that in the fridge instead. Either way you will need to leave the dessert/frosting out for about an hour in order to allow the frosting to return to room temperature before serving. I was very disappointed to discover that mine had returned to a butter-like consistency after a few hours in the fridge, but a little research clued me in to letting it sit and soften, and it's great again!
