Taralli al Vino Bianco (White Wine Cookies)

Hi, there! I know it's been a while since I last posted... Sorry, I need to schedule better my life.

Today, we have the recipe for Taralli al Vino Bianco (Sweet White Wine Cookies). 
Those of you have been to Puglia I'm sure you have tried plenty of them. A specialty of the South, basically they are like a cracker that can be either savory or sweet. The salty ones are great to accompany your evening aperitivo, and the sweet ones I like to serve as dessert, together with some sweet wine that you can dunk them in.
Enough with the chit-chat, here is how they are made!
