Ingredients

  • 100 g butter cut into small chunks, cold unsalted
  • 100 g all-purpose flour organic
  • 100 g Parmesan Cheese finely grated
  • rosemary optional, fresh, leaves, finely minced
  • thyme optional, fresh, leaves, finely minced
  • black pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon water warm; or a small beaten egg

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a stand mixer over medium-low speed, mix together the butter, flour and Parmesan cheese, until finely crumbly.
  2. Add optional fresh chopped herbs and black pepper to taste, and knead until you form a dough.
  3. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into an uniform log, about 3 cm (1¼ inches) in diameter.
  4. Wrap the 2 cylinders into cling film, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C ( 350°F) without the fan mode. When using the fan-assisted option, set the oven to 20°C less than conventional oven.
  6. Cut each log into 1 cm thick rounds, then you can use a cookie cutter to give them a specific cookie form.
  7. Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the surface of each cookie with a bit of warm water or a beaten egg, and sprinkle a tiny amount of extra grated Parmesan or chopped fresh herbs on top.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden on top.
  10. Remove the cookies from the oven, they will still be quite soft. Allow them to cool completely on a baking rack, then serve.
  11. Store leftovers in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Dough can be formed into logs or flattened disks before chilling and cutting with cookie cutters.
  • If dough is too crumbly, add a small amount of extra butter to improve binding.
  • Baked cookies and dough logs can be frozen for up to 2 months when properly wrapped.
  • Defrost dough for 10 minutes at room temperature before rolling and cutting.
