Parmesan Cookies a la Herbinha

I love pão de queijo! They're yummy, yummy cheese bread from Brazil, and I can't get enough of it. Sometimes we order them online from the Brazilian grocery, or make them by hand using an instant pão de queijo mix... just add eggs! Now Famima (convenience store) has them too, but they're rare and expensive. However, my love for cheese and all things cheesy has led me this wonderful recipe for parmesan cookies. I made slight modifications because I kinda got frustrated while I was making them. It's soooo... easy and delicious! Try them and make your day a bit more special. Yields about 24 cookies.

Parmesan Cookies a la Herbinha ^__^

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or the powdered kind)
1/2 cup melted butter
coarse ground pepper, dried basil flakes, seeds etc.

Mix the flour and parmesan cheese together, add the melted butter and knead throroughly. Pinch off small portions, form into a ball and flatten. Each cookie should be at least 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle with pepper, basil flakes, or seeds. Bake in for 12 minutes in a 180C oven. Finito!

Yummmm... so good you wouldn't want to share! I know I don't. Hahahahaa...
