I am a cookie monster. Nowadays I have tried to cut down my cookie consumption and instead of buying cookies at my groceries' I have started to bake my cookies.

First of all it needs a bit of effort to make them, secondly you know exactly what's inside them. That all means that I don't eat them so much and they are kind of healthier as there're no articial preservatives for example.

Sweet cookies are my all time favourite oens, but this afternoon I was more for savoury ones. The cheese cookies I baked were no means light & healthy...

Cheese cookies

100g parmesan

1 tbls flour (I used gluten-free)

1 tsp baking powder

75g butter

1 egg

50g blue cheese

Grate the parmesan. Add the flour & baking powder and then the butter (room temperature) and egg. Mix them all and crumble the blue cheese to the dough.

Line 2 baking sheets parchment paper. Scoop out dough with a teaspoon. Leave some space between the cookies as they will spread. Bake them in the preheated oven in 175 C for about 12 minutes, or until they got nice colour.

Super easy! Great with afternoon tea!

Glutein Free Cheese Cookies

A friend of mine gave me a book full of delicious glutein free recipes. One of my favourites is this "cheese cookie" recipe. So easy & quick to make. Unfortunately they also disappear just as quickly...

All you need:

1,5 dl almond flour

3 eggs

60g butter

paprika or chili powder 

225g grated Ceddar cheese

some coconut flour

Mix all the ingredients, and make about walnut size dumplings from it. Bake for about 15mins in 200C.

I have changed the amount of cheese & chili powder to make the cookies spicier, and left the coconut flour out as it made them too sweet.  

  

Yummy!

Glutein Free

Nowadays it's not so difficult to find glutein-free products at shops. 

My favourites are:

Lemon bebé  

 Crispy vegetable chips with oregano, basil and a hint of lemon by Terra.

(potatoe ones are, of course, glutein free as well, but just wanted to introduce these as they somehow feel a bit healthier...maybe.)
