If you have never made a savory cookie recipe before, try these parmesan cookies, which are slightly salty and nutty from parmesan cheese and have a hint of the pine taste of rosemary. These are wonderful on their own as a snack or to have as an appetizer with wine, cheese, and salumi.
To make the parmesan cookies, you first make a dough by mixing flour with parmesan cheese, butter, eggs, rosemary, and thyme until combined. Then, once the dough is chilled in the fridge, it gets rolled out, cut into shapes, and baked in the oven. The results are crisp and buttery cookies that are full of savory flavor.
What are Parmesan Cookies?
Parmesan cookies are savory cookies that are made with flour, parmesan, butter, and rosemary. As a result, they are wonderful to enjoy with meat and cheese, similar to how you would eat crackers. They are also great on their own served with wine or your favorite festive cocktails.
Pro Tips
- Make sure the butter is softened before you begin to make the dough.
- For the best flavor, use fresh rosemary and thyme rather than dried.
- Don’t skip chilling the dough as this will make it easier to work with. This step will also result in flakier cookies that melt in your mouth.
- You will be able to tell when the cookies are baked when they are golden on their bottoms and around their edges.
