Instructions savory pecorino cheese and almond cookies

  • In a blender equipped with a blade attachment, blend 40 g of flour and 20 g of almonds until the almonds are sand-like. Otherwise, blend the almonds in a mini blender and use a fork to mix the ingredients.

  • Add diced cold salted butter and blend until smooth.
  • Finally add egg yolks and blend or knead the dough briefly to make it smooth. Place your dough in a container with a lid or wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  • Decorate each cookie with an almond and dust with thyme or paprika, then bake in a preheated static oven at 170 - 180 ° C for 12 - 15 minutes. The baking time depends on the thickness of the cookie.
  • Once baked, let them cool completely. From this recipe I cprepare about 25 savory cookies.
