9. If you would like more of a sugar cookie texture to your cookies, reduce the amount of butter and red wine.
10. If you would like more a scone-like texture, add the full amount of wine and butter, then slowly mix in the flour 1/4 cup at a time.
11. The final texture of the dough should be very sticky but not gooey.
