You can make a flavorful savory cookie with blue cheese and walnuts.

Ingredients
- 3 1/2 ounces mild blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder (although I haven't tried it, I think cayenne would also be good.)
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Combine the blue cheese and butter in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until thoroughly blended. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, ancho chili powder; pulse until the dough resembles coarse meal.
- Add the walnuts and process until a moist dough is formed. Gather the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight, until thoroughly chilled and firm. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Use 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out shapes. The dough can be rerolled. Transfer to the baking sheets, spacing the cookies 1 inch apart. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly golden on the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- The dough needs at least 30 minutes in the fridge before it's ready but you can leave it in there for up to 1 full day. It's best not to freeze the dough or the cookies. These cookies are recommended to pair with some port or another after-dinner wine.
