Rosemary Parmesan Snowflake Cookies

These Rosemary Parmesan Snowflake Cookies are a savory and elegant treat combining fragrant rosemary with sharp Parmesan cheese, perfect for festive occasions or as a unique appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and grated Parmesan until smooth and combined.
  3. Stir in the chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
  5. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush each cookie lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are firm to the touch.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle the cooled cookies with a light balsamic glaze or serve alongside a mild honey mustard dip.
