I would say of all the cheese in the world, Parmesan is definitely one of my favourites if not the favourite!

I love it on my Pasta, Pizza and just eaten in chunks. One of my favourite appetizers is grilled eggplant, Italian crusty bread and chunks of Parmesan Cheese.

So when I was told about these Savory Parmesan Cookies I knew they were meant for me.

It’s is such an easy recipe, whip it up in your Food Processor and it’s ready in no time. And no chilling necessary.

How make Parmesan Cookies

I use a food processor although kneading the dough by hand works too.

There are only a few ingredients in these cookies, butter, flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and a tablespoon or two of water.

I also recommend grating your own Parmesan rather than buying packaged pre grated cheese. It is probably cheaper too!

Remember you want to grate the cheese and not shred it.

Knead the dough to form a soft compact dough, then roll to about 1 cm thickness. I like to use a small round cookie cutter.

Place the circles on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, brush with an egg wash, top with your favourite toppings and bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Shredded or Grated Parmesan

Shredded cheese are long strips while grated cheese are like tiny fragments almost to the point of being powdery, but not quite.

Tasty Toppings for Parmesan Cookies

  • Chopped rosemary
  • chopped fresh oregano or thyme
  • seeds of choice poppy, sesame, chia etc
  • More herbs to add are minced chive, parsley, savory, tarragon or go plain.

How to Store Parmesan Cookies

The cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. The dough can also be frozen, wrap in plastic and place in a freezer bag. The dough will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
