Red Wine Cinnamon and Olive Oil Cookies
This recipe was inspired by the Greeks who love combining savoury and sweet dishes with cinnamon. You can serve these decadent cookies as a dessert or snack on them whenever the occasion calls for it.
The cinnamon in this recipe, combined with Willow Creek Blood Orange Flavoured Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the added red wine, is designed to pair with our Cathedral Cellar Pinotage.
