Number Of Ingredients 6

100g (3 1/2 oz) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
100g (3 1/2 oz) plain flour, plus extra for flouring
100g (3 1/2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese.(I use Parmigiano Reggiano)
1 medium egg, beaten
salt and black pepper to taste
fresh rosemary & thyme leaves, finey chopped (optional)

Steps:

In a stand mixer over medium-low speed, mix together butter, flour and parmesan, until finely crumbly.
Add optional fresh chopped herbs, season with salt & pepper to taste, and knead until you form a dough.
Divide the dough in two, and roll each part into an uniform log, about 3cm / 1¼ inches in diameter.
Wrap the 2 cylinders into cling film, and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Preheat the oven to 180°C ( 350°F), meanwhile cut each log into 1cm thick rounds.
Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
Brush the surface of each biscuit with the egg and sprinkle over a little finely grated parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are crunchy and golden on top.
Allow to cool on a baking rack, and serve.
Store in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 1 week.
