Savoury Herb and Pepper Cookies
Think of cookies and the first thing that generally comes to mind are sweet, round or shaped crunchy or crisp baked dough. I make different types of cookies quite often as my daughter loves home-made ones.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup salted butter , cold (cut into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup cheese finely grated
- 1 egg , beaten
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsps pepper freshly crushed
- 1 - 2 tbsps water chilled
Instructions
- Rub the butter into the flour till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Now add the cheese, egg, pepper, herbs, baking powder, and enough of the chilled water to bind the mixture into a dough that comes together and can be rolled out. Do not knead or handle the dough much.
- Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface, roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 190C (375F) for about 15 minutes till golden brown.
- Cool on a rack and the cookies will be flaky and crisp on the outside. Serve with coffee or tea.
