Our savory cookies are cheesy, buttery and incredibly delicious, on their own or with a cheese spread. They're also simple to make, taking only 10 minutes to bake once the dough sets in the fridge. Enjoy!

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

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter, cheeses, tarragon, oregano and garlic until well mixed. Beat in flour (the dough will be crumbly). Shape into a 14-in. roll. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° until golden brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
