CHEESE & ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD CRISPS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Cheese & Rosemary Shortbread Crisps Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1-1/4 cups aged white cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dry mustard
pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • 1 In a bowl, beat butter until smooth. In a separate bowl, toss together cheese, flour, rosemary, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a log about 9 inches long, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours*. *NOTE: I froze these for about an hour and sliced them very easily. 2 Preheat oven to 325F. Slice the log into 1/4-inch rounds and place rounds 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of oven until cookies are lightly golden around the edges, about 20 to 22 minutes. Cool completely.

ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD

This basic, buttery shortbread practically begs that you customize it to suit your own tastes or pantry supplies. The dough, which comes together quickly in a food processor, is already enhanced with rosemary, but nuts, seeds, citrus zest, spices, vanilla or minced dried fruit - or a combination of some of these - all make fine additions. Scale it up, scale it down. Add more salt, or use less. As long as you maintain the butter-flour ratio (one stick of butter for every cup of flour), you are free to play around. But the shortbread is delicious all on its own: tender, rich, crumbly, irresistible.

Time 45m

Yield One 8- or 9-inch shortbread

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 to 2 teaspoons rosemary, chestnut or other dark, full-flavored honey (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, rosemary and salt. Add butter, and honey if desired, and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess. Dough should not be smooth.
  • Press dough into an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan or 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.
