SAVOURY CHEESE & WALNUT SABLES FOR COCKTAILS AND PARTIES!



Savoury Cheese & Walnut Sables for Cocktails and Parties! image

These delicious crisp and light little savoury biscuits/crackers are a firm favourite in our family, especially when served with the cheese board! They are also great served with soups, dips, & salads. I have used pecans instead of walnuts in the past with the same tasty results. You can omit the chilli or cayenne pepper if you are not keen on the spicy "kick" it gives! They are very nice at Christmas time if you cut them into star shapes & serve them as aperitif snacks, or with cocktails.

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

18 tablespoons (about 9 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (about 8 ounces) Saint Agur blue cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (about 3 1/2 ounces) sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
2 1/4 cups (about 11 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat together butter and cheese until they are completely blended, about 1 minute. Add sugar and salt to the butter and cheese, beating just until they are well mixed and creamy, about one minute longer. Do not overbeat. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating each just until completely mixed in. Stop beating once you have a cohesive batter. Stir in flour with a rubber spatula, stirring just until there is no dry flour left. The dough should be sandy but form a ball when pressed. Roll into a 2-inch thick log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerator for 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick cookies and place them 1-inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake until the edges are light brown, about 18 minutes
