Parmesan Cheese Cookies
Report
Parmesan Cheese Cookies made with freshly grated parmesan cheese, fennel seeds and red pepper flakes for a little kick. These savoury shortbread biscuits are whipped up using a food processor so are super easy! Serve as part of an antipasto platter, cheese board or simple snack!

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups plain flour (170g)
- 3.5 oz softened butter (100g/ 1/2 cup)
- 1.5 cups freshly grated parmesan (70g)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds (adjust to preference)
- 1 tbsp chilli flakes (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and blitz together until the majority of it has clumped together (there will be some crumbs).
- Turn it out onto a clean surface and bring the dough together (you may need a very light dusting of flour to stop it sticking), knead gently for a few seconds and bring it together to a smooth ball.
- Cut the dough in half then take one half and roll it into a sausage shape keeping each end flat and not rounded. The cookies don't expand much in the oven so the size you roll out will be the size of the cookies.
- Roll the sausage shape in plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal, repeat with the second half then place in the fridge for 45minutes to 1 hour to chill.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C (350F)
- Once chilled cut the dough logs into coins around 1 cm (1/2 inch thick) and place on a baking tray.
- Bake until starting to turn golden around the edges (around 15-20 minutes) set aside to cool and serve.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened before using
- You can easily adapt the seasonings to your liking (try out different herbs and spices or leave them out altogether)
- The raw dough can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking
- Baked cheese cookies will store well in airtight containers
