How to Make Soetkoekies Spicy Wine Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the wine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
