Red Wine Cookies

½ cup butter

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup red Zinfandel wine, or more as needed

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

⅓ cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add red wine; beat until fully incorporated. Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into butter mixture until moistened. Scoop into small mounds on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
