If something a bit more savoury is what you are after; then look no further than these, cheesy and slightly peppered shortbread that melt in your mouth.
Cheese and Pink Peppercorn Shortbread
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
approximately 30 cookies
2 2/3 cups (650ml) unbleached all purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 to 2 teaspoons freshly ground pink peppercorns
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking tray with baking parchment paper. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, ground peppercorns, and both cheeses. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon cream the butter and sugar together. Gradually stir in the flour mixture to make a soft dough.
Using a tablespoon round the dough and roll each spoonful into a ball with your hands, no larger than a walnut. Place the now formed balls onto the prepared baking tray... approximately 2 inches apart. Lightly press the tops with a floured fork or the floured bottom of a glass.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown on the bottom.
