Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients
• 8 T (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 oz. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Heckers or King Arthur all-purpose flour
• 1 T finely minced fresh rosemary
• ½ cup walnuts, toasted at 350°F for 10 minutes then minced
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Directions To make the dough: Using an electric mixer or a handheld balloon whisk, cream the butter, add the cheese, and mix well. Stir in the flour, rosemary, walnuts, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, form into 1-inch-wide logs, and roll to make neat cylinders. Wrap them in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days. Freeze for up to 2 months. To bake the shortbread: Position a rack in the middle of the oven, preheat to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cut the logs into ¼-inch-thick slices and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly colored. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve as is or top with thin slices of sun-dried tomato.
