These cookies are so awesome. Little savory snacks, perfect to serve with a drink or glass of wine. You can prepare them well in advance - the dough needs at least an hour in the fridge, but over night is fine. I bet you can even freeze it. The cookies themselves keep well too - either in the fridge or frozen.
And they're a snap to make - you just throw everything in a food processor. So simple!
Bacon Parmesan Shortbread
about 40
140 g bacon
150 g all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
100 g butter
100 g parmesan cheese (in small chunks, or grated)
Start with the bacon - it needs to be fried. I prefer the oven, so I roast mine at 200°C for ten minutes. Use whatever method you like.
Next, place the flour, sugar, salt, butter and cheese in a food processor. Mix until everything is fine crumbs. Add the bacon, and then mix until it starts coming together in one coherent dough. Shape into a long sausage-shape, and wrap in plastic. Chill for at least one hour.
Slice, mine were about 5 mm, and place on a baking sheet. They'll spread a little, but not a lot.
Bake at 200°C for about 8 minutes. They should become very lightly golden.

These cookies reminded me a lot of an Italian traditional Easter snack: you spread pizza dough into a rectangle, sprinkle with diced parmesan and salame, roll it into a bread loaf and bake.
Then you slice the whole loaf and put it into plastic bags for a snack to have in the countryside :)
Bacon + cheese = New Year Heaven :-)
