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.

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

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.

Conclusion:

These savory Parmesan shortbread rounds are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy treat, give these cookies a try!
