Welcome to a Delightful Baking Adventure!
There’s something incredibly satisfying about baking at home, especially when you know the outcome will be nothing short of extraordinary. Today, we’re diving into the world of Herb-Infused Cheddar & Blue Cheese Savory Cookies, a unique twist on the classic cookie recipe that’s perfect for cheese lovers and herb enthusiasts alike. Let’s get started on this flavorful journey together!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, tarragon, oregano, and minced garlic until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and evenly blended, with the herbs and cheese fully incorporated into the butter.
- Forming the Dough: Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, beating slowly until a crumbly dough forms. This dough will be slightly sticky, but it should hold together when pressed. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of cold water to help it come together.
- Shaping the Dough: Shape the dough into a 14-inch roll, making sure it’s tightly packed to avoid any air pockets. Wrap the dough roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up, making it easier to slice later.
- Baking the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough is well chilled, cut it into 1/4-inch slices using a sharp knife. Place the slices on ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and crisp.
- Cooling the Cookies: After baking, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. This step ensures that they retain their crispiness.

For the perfect texture, be sure to refrigerate the dough for the full recommended time. This will make slicing easier and help the cookies maintain their shape during baking. If you find the dough too crumbly when mixing, adding a small amount of water can help bring it together. Additionally, using freshly grated cheese will enhance the flavor and melt better during baking, ensuring a richer taste.
