almond flour

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Oat flour is less expensive and gluten-free.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon coarse pepper, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves.

Add 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter cut into cubes.

Work the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like crumbs.

Add 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the bowl.

Mix until a dough forms; if the dough is too dry, add more cream a little at a time.

Form the dough into a roll and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 2 days.

Slice the chilled dough into about 1/8 inch thick slices.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C).

Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until browned.

Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
