Parmesan Shortbread image

The sugar has been omitted from these butter-rich savory shortbread cookies and replaced with tangy Parmesan cheese! What a yummy snack! We like to eat a few of these lightly salty biscuits with a ripe juicy pear. These would also be good alongside a nice bowl of minestrone. Get authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese if you can.

Yield 16 savory cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (or thyme) (optional)
1 1/4 cups flour

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Line an 8 inch square pan with buttered foil.
  • Beat all ingredients except flour in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and creamy, 3-4 minutes.

  • Scrape dough into pan and press evenly with the back of a spoon.
  • Pierce dough randomly with a floured fork.
  • Bake 35 minutes until firm.
  • Let cool slightly then invert pan over your cutting board.
