Cinnamon Mulled Wine Sugar Cookies

Cinnamon Mulled Wine Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional sugar cookies, infused with the warm and comforting flavors of mulled wine. Perfect for holiday baking, these cookies boast a spicy cinnamon aroma and a unique taste that will magically transport you to cozy winter evenings. With the perfect blend of sugar, spices, and a touch of red wine, these cookies are sure to impress at any festive gathering.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined.
5. Incorporate Red Wine: Gradually stir in the red wine, mixing until it’s fully integrated. The dough will now have a slightly moist texture.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies tough.
7. Chill the Dough: For better shaping and flavor development, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
8. Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should still be soft in the center.
10. Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, dust them with powdered sugar if desired.
11. Enjoy: Serve the Cinnamon Mulled Wine Sugar Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors that evoke the spirit of the holiday season!

Infused with the cozy flavors of mulled wine and paired with a vibrant berry filling, these delicate cookies are both visually stunning and deliciously rich. They make an elegant addition to your festive dessert table and are sure to impress your guests.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. This will guarantee a smooth macaron shell. Set aside.

4. Add Granulated Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat. Increase to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be glossy and hold its shape.
5. Flavor with Vanilla and Mulled Wine: Gently fold in the vanilla extract and cooled mulled wine into the meringue, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue in batches. Use a spatula to incorporate until the mixture flows like lava and forms a thick ribbon when dropped from the spatula.
7. Color the Mixture (Optional): If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your preferred shade, and fold gently until evenly mixed.

11. Cool and Prepare Filling: Once baked, let the macarons cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
12. Make the Berry Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate the berry jam until well blended. Adjust the consistency if necessary by adding more jam or butter.
13. Assemble the Macarons: Pair the cooled macaron shells to make sandwiches. Pipe a small amount of the berry filling on the flat side of one macaron and press another shell on top gently.
14. Serve or Store: Allow the assembled macarons to rest for a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your festive Mulled Wine Macarons With Berry Filling!
