PARMESAN COOKIES
Tricks and tips for perfect cookies
Use good aged parmesan (at least 24 months): the more flavorful, the more your cookies will taste great!
If you want a gourmet touch, add a pinch of sweet paprika or chopped rosemary.
For an even more crumbly version, you can replace part of the butter with delicate extra virgin olive oil.
You can prepare them in advance: they keep for several days in a tin box or an airtight jar.
Delicious Variations
