Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.33 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 0.33 cups fig preserves
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and is evenly blended.
Divide the dough into 18 equal portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into small balls.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently press your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon into the center of each ball to create a small indent.
Fill each indent with a crumble of Gorgonzola cheese (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie).
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden and slightly firm.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
While the cookies are still warm, spoon a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of fig preserves into the center of each one.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, garnish each cookie with a few fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
