these were much better the day after I made them. The honey needs to soak into the cookie, otherwise they taste too bitter. My grandmother from Italy used to make these around the holidays, and my dad said they taste just like hers.

Please do not add water. Just bring oil and wine to a boil, add a pinch of salt to flour and mix with oil and wine mixture, fry and coat with honey. delicious

These cookies are interesting and I couldn't eat just one! Just the right amount of sweetness and wine. I'm going to try them out at a party with the appetizers. Very tasty!

I've been looking for this recipe for a while now, but I'm confused on the the amount of oil. The recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of veg. oil and then a quart for frying, but it doesn't tell you when to add the 2 1/2 cups of veg. oil. Was there a typo or am I really blind?

Awful. I cut down the water to less than 1/2 a cup, and still had to knead in more flour to make the dough workable. The worst part though, was that it *exploded* in the hot oil.

Thank you, I have been searching for this recipe for 7 years. It was a Christmas tradition to make Italian Wine cookies since I was a child. This one of the easiest and most deliciousest cookies I know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, again. Tejani.

This recipe does not work. Tried it twice and no results. Dough is way to wet even at only two cups. Then tried adding mord flour and at 3/4 cup gave up. When cooked in oil we tried some for 10 minutes and even then although outside was crisp inside was wet.
