Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g of wheat flour T55
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 100 g of unsalted butter (softened and cut into cubes, at room temperature)
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- 1 shallot (finely chopped)
- 150 g of diced ham
- 100 g of grated parmesan (preferably freshly grated)
- A pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preparation of the dough: In a large bowl, sift 150 g of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix well. This will create the base for your cookies.
- Incorporation of the butter: Add 100 g of diced unsalted butter. Rub everything together with your fingers until you achieve a crumbly texture, which is crucial for the lightness of the dough.
- Adding wet ingredients: In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Pour it into the flour and butter mixture, then mix until you obtain a smooth and soft dough. Avoid overworking the dough to keep it light.
- Incorporation of fillings: Add 1 finely chopped shallot, 150 g of diced ham, and 100 g of grated parmesan. Gently mix to incorporate these fillings without overworking the dough to preserve the texture.
- Shaping the cookies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take portions of dough the size of a large walnut, roll them into balls, and flatten them slightly. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Baking: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden and the center is soft. Keep an eye on the baking to prevent the cookies from burning.
- Cooling: Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
