Parmesan Biscuits (Cookies)

Submitted by Jubes

"These are a very easy savoury biscuit to make. A couple of suggestions for toppings are some ricotta and 1/2 cherry tomato or a little sour cream and smoked salmon. Great to serve as an appetizer. As there is no flour they are also gluten free"

Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup. These were very good and excellent with tomato based soups. It's nice to have recipes that are already gluten free. I will be making these again. Thanks for posting this Julie!
