Method

To make the Savory Parmigiano Cookies, mix the flour, leavening, grated cheese, a generous grinding of pepper and the chopped parsley in a bowl.
Then add the egg and the butter, softened but not melted, and knead with your hands to get a fairly smooth dough with a texture similar to shortcrust pastry.
Pinch off portions of dough with your hands and shape them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and press lightly to flatten them.
Bake the savory cheese cookies at 180 °C (350 °F) in a convection oven for 15 minutes, then let them cool and serve. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

You can replace the parsley with other fresh or dried herbs of your choice. Oregano stripped from its stems is perfect for this, and so is thyme. If you’d like a richer version, add some coarsely chopped nuts or sun-dried tomatoes in oil to the dough: you’ll taste how good it is.

Tips

You can also make the Savory Parmigiano Cookies a couple of days ahead: they’ll still stay crisp.

Storage

Savory Parmigiano Cookies keep in a tin for 3-4 days.
