Yield Makes about 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Add flour and cayenne pepper to the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • Add cheese to the food processor; pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  • Using a fork, stir in milk and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Have ready several pieces of parchment paper.
  • Form mixture into two 1-inch-diameter logs, and wrap in parchment. Transfer the logs to the refrigerator, and chill until very firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove logs from refrigerator, and cut each one into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place the rounds on prepared baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
  • Bake the shortbread until golden, about 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets between shelves halfway through baking.
  • Transfer shortbread to wire racks to cool. Bake remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold together. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

The cookies were a bit bland. I think I would add more cheese and herbs next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These shortbread cookies were delicious and easy to make. I used a garlic and herb seasoning blend instead of the rosemary and they turned out great.

I was skeptical about savory shortbread at first, but I'm so glad I gave this recipe a try. The cookies turned out beautifully and had a wonderful savory flavor. I served them with a glass of wine and they were the perfect appetizer.
