Found this in the December, 2007 issue of Bon Appetite, as I was clearing some space for more recent magazines. I haven't made them, but didn't want to let the recipe get away. Their serving suggestion - with pre-dinner drinks or on a salami platter.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real Parmesan cheese (not pre-grated or powdered), unsalted butter, and all-purpose flour.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and become crispy.
- For a fun and festive variation, you can add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or herbs to the dough before baking.
