Parmesan-Pepper Shortbread
1/2 cup butter softened 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, or Romano 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. hot red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 350 deg.F. Cream butter and cheese in large bowl of electric mixer. Beat in flour, pepper, salt, basil, and red pepper flakes just until thoroughly combined. Roll dough to 1/6 in. thickness. (If necessary, chill dough for easier handling.)Cut into shapes, put on ungreased cookie sheets, and bake 5 - 8 min.
You could also form the dough into a log, chill, and slice. Doesn't make very many, only about a dozen. |
