Parmesan Thyme Sables
Author: Kirsten | My Kitchen in the Rockies
Prep time: 40 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 1 hour
Ingredients
  • 1 stick (1/4 pound or 114 g) butter, at room temperature
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese ( Parmigiano Reggiano), freshly grated (don't use anything else!!)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cups organic flour
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter. You can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand held mixer like me.
  2. Add the Parmesan, thyme, salt and pepper and mix well.
  3. Add the flour and combine until large crumbles form. About 1 minute.
  4. On a floured wooden board roll the dough into a 9 inch long log. Wrap the log in plastic foil and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven on Convection 350 F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon pad or parchment paper.
  6. Cut the log in 24 equal slices that are ⅜ inch of thickness. Use a very sharp small kitchen knife.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during the baking time.
  8. Cool the crackers and serve at room temperature. I served mine with Greek olives and a good red wine. Enjoy!
