Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Pulse the Dry Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cubed cold butter, grated Parmesan, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Bring It Together: With the processor running, slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together into a ball. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill Out: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and flatten it into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This is a crucial step for easy rolling!
- Roll and Cut: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your snowflake cutter to stamp out as many cookies as you can, re-rolling the scraps.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For a gorgeous golden sheen, brush them lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a tiny bit of coarse sea salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
