This incredible crumbly Blue Cheese Fig Shortbread is perfectly savory and sweet at the same time with only 4 ingredients and no eggs!
Servings: 20 crackers
Ingredients
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) butter, softened
- 2 cups (8 oz/225 g) blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) dried mission figs, finely diced
Instructions
-
In a stand mixer or in a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and blue cheese on medium speed until smooth.
-
Fold in the flour until just combined followed by the diced figs.
-
Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap well and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
-
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6mm) thickness and using a 2-inch (5cm) round cookie cutter, cut as many circles as you can. Place them about 1-inch (2½ cm) apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Gather and reroll any scraps.
-
Prick the crackers all over with a toothpick and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cookies look dry and baked through.
-
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
