Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Work the butter together with the flour into an oatmeal-like consistency.
3. Add the parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a few tablespoons of milk. Knead the dough until it is smooth, soft and uniform in consistency, then, shape it into a ball.
4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/2 centimeter and cut out the cookies in various shapes.
5. Place the cookies on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
6. If you like, you may sprinkle with sage, rosemary, thyme, chili pepper, chives, or any spice you wish.
7. Bake for approximately 13 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown too much or they will acquire a bitter taste.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
