2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup olive oil
1 egg white, beaten until foamy
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Have ready 2 large ungreased baking sheets. 2 In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the wine and olive oil and stir until well blended. 3 Shape the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a 10-inch log. Flatten the logs slightly. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. 4 Cut the logs into 3/4-inch pieces. Place the pieces 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. 5 Have ready 2 large cooling racks. Transfer the baking sheets to the racks. Let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to the racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
