No one can resist the smell of these cookies, and you yourself will be
tempted to steal one from the oven. The creator of the recipe suggests
switching out the dried tomatoes for paprika if you don’t like tomatoes.
The added Parmesan gives this delightful dessert a savory taste that
makes this a unique cookie.
Ingredients
Butter - 1.5 sticks (softened and cubed)
Parmesan cheese - 2 cups
Sun-dried tomatoes - 2 tbsp. (finely diced)
Flour - 1 2/3 cup
Salt - 1 tsp.
Black pepper - 1 tsp.
Baking powder - 1 tsp.
Egg - 1 (beaten)
Sesame seeds - 3/4 cup
Nigella seeds - 1/4 cup OR black jeera/ black sesame seeds
Preparations
Place the Parmesan and butter in a mixer with a guitar hook and mix until they are combined.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and mix again.
Mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder, add them to the cheese mixture and mix again until all the ingredients are combined.
Remove the dough and knead it with your hands so that it becomes uniform.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces and make a log from each part.
Now, preheat your oven to 375°F (170°C).
Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and place in the freezer to cool for 15-20 minutes.
