Savory Parmesan Cookies are perfect as an appetizer, snack or even served with your favourite stew or soup.&nbsp;Fast, easy &amp; no chilling needed.

Savory Parmesan Cookies

all purpose flour ((100 gram))

parmesan cheese ((75 grams))

salt

pepper

butter ((cold cubed/ 70 grams))

water

rosemary

thyme / oregano

various seeds

herbs

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In the food processor add the flour, parmesan, salt and pepper and whisk (small whisk or fork) together.  Then add cubed butter and pulse to form coarse crumbs, add the water a tablespoon at a time until dough is almost combined.

Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and knead a few times until you have a soft smooth dough.

Lightly flour the dough and roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin, to about 1 cm thickness. Cut out with a small round cookie cutter, place on prepared cookie sheet, brush with egg wash sprinkle with your favourite topping (I used fresh rosemary and thyme). Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

In a small bowl beat together the egg and water.

Thyme and Cheddar Cheese Cookies

oz cheese

oz unsalted butter (½ cup, softened)

tsp black pepper (coarsely ground black pepper)

½ tbsp fresh thyme leaves thyme

salt cheese

flour flour

Shred the cheddar cheese using a grater (large grater holes are ideal).

Place the butter, shredded cheese, black pepper, salt and thyme in a bowl and mix with a hand-held beater on medium speed. Mix for a few minutes until the butter is creamy and the cheese gets mixed in with the butter.

Add the flour, and mix on low speed until the flour forms wet clumps (and there are no dry spots in the dough).

Bring the dough together to form a dough ball. Knead it a little if needed (to bring it together). But don't knead too much.

Form an evenly shaped dough log that's about 6-7 inches long. Wrap it in plastic wrap. Knot the two ends to form a tightly wrapped dough “sausage”. Refrigerate until the dough has chilled - about 30 min to 1 hour. You can also let it chill for up to 5 days in the fridge, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When you're ready to bake - remove the log from the fridge (or freezer). If the dough is too hard to cut through, let it thaw a little (so that it's still chilled, but easier to cut). Unwrap the dough when you’re ready to slice it.

With a sharp knife, cut ¼ inch thick discs from the dough log. Use your fingers to shape the cookies into nice round shapes, if they lose their shape a bit.&nbsp;

Place the sliced cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and let the tray chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place the chilled cheese cookies on the parchment paper-lined half sheet pan, with about an inch of space between each cookie.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes for a soft cheese cookie - remove the cookies from the oven when the bottom edges of the cookie are starting to color.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes&nbsp;for a crispy cheese cookie - remove from the oven when the cookies start turning golden in color on top.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Repeat with the remaining sliced cookies (make sure the half sheet pan is at room temperature for this second batch of cookies - so either use a new half sheet pan, or cool down the previous one to room temp. first).

Place the cooled cookies in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. OR wrap them in plastic wrap, and then in foil, and store in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Serve at room temperature.
