Today’s cookies are not sweet. Finally, I got some savory cookies for you again. No nuts, no chocolate – today I got some cheese for you. Shortbread Cookies with Parmesan and Thyme to be precise. Delicious, addictive cookies…
Even though I really like cookies, I normally only eat one or two at the most when baking a batch. With the big cookies (I sometimes bake) that’s already a lot ;) The rest of the cookies normally end up with colleagues and friends. Once a week as you probably know already ;)
When it comes to savory cookies – especially the ones with cheese in them – I really have problems holding back. Ten cookies, one after another is not unusual ;P Along with a beer or just as a snack – so good! Really! But not good for my hips :P
So be warned, if you want to bake these cookies. They are dangerous for your hips and belly. Maybe you should only make them if you have guests over, so you are not eating them all alone. An even distribution does the trick here :P
Just saying’ ;))

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Cut the dough log into slices and place with enough space in between on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with some parmesan cheese and bake for 16-18 minutes until nice golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool down no the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen. Die Teigrolle in nicht zu dünne Scheiben schneiden und dann mit etwas Abstand zueinander auf das Blech legen. Mit etwas Parmesan bestreuen und für 16-18 Minuten backen – die Cookies sollten eine schöne goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und für ein paar Minuten auf dem Blech abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
