I know we’ve all had the thought, “How can I get MORE cookies in my life?”
No? Just me?
Well, even if you don’t share my cookie passion, you have to admit that the idea of savory cookies piqued your interest. If you were just as intrigued as me but didn’t know where to start, look no further! These recipes are guaranteed to satisfy your cookie craving while giving your sweet tooth a rest.
Savory Cookie #1: Parmesan and Thyme Rosemary Cookies
Inspired by Adeline Borra’s recipe, I switched the thyme with rosemary because I have a rosemary plant in my yard (and didn’t want to go searching for fresh thyme). These cookies are crumbly and cheesy and AMAZING. A friend described them as tasting “like Cheezits, but legit.” Legit, indeed.
Savory Cookie #2: Olive Oil Cookies
You may notice a suspicious lack of photos accompanying this recipe. There’s a reason for that. They’re pretty darn ugly. Next time I might switch the red wine with white wine or just go all out and add some red food coloring. The cookies weren’t all that savory but they were still tasty – sort of like a sourdough pancake pretending to be a cookie. I just happened to have some Pinot Cherries from Friend in Cheeses Jam Co that went quiet well with these ugly cookies.
More savory cookie experiments to come (including one with seaweed)!
