Parmesan Shortbreads
This is Nigella Lawson's Parmesan Shortbreads recipe. Ellen, my sister-in-law, recently served them during a family holiday gift exchange. As each bite melts in your mouth, you will surely reach for another. They are a perfect appetizer to accompany wine.

Ingredients
- 3/4 c ( 3 oz.) finely shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese
- 7 T unsalted butter, softened
- 1 c flour
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients with the paddle attachment until completely mixed.
- Separate dough into 2 equal-sized balls. Use scale if you have one or just eyeball it.
- Roll each piece into a 7" roll which should have a diameter of approximately 1 1/4". Flatten each end..
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap, twisting the ends.
- Chill for at least 45 minutes. These can be made ahead and chilled for up to 3 days or wrapped in foil and frozen until ready to use. Allow them to sit a while at room temperature to make slicing easier, if frozen.
- Slice into 1/2" rounds. Place 2" apart on parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until edges are just lightly golden brown. They are best served warm.
