3. 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
4. 1 Tablespoon sugar
5. 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
7. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8. 1 cup butter at room temperature
9. 1-2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

11. 5 Tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
2. Mix flour, cheeses sugar, rosemary, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl.
3. Beat the butter and lemon zest with an electric mixer until combined. Mix in the egg yolk and cream.
4. Add the flour mixture until completely combined. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a uniform thickness of approximately 3/8 inch. Dust the surface of your dough with flour. (There is no need to dust the mold). Press the mold into the dough just far enough to fill the mold cavity. Remove your mold and cut out the impression. Place your cookie on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Place molded cookies in refrigerator. Chill for at least 1/2 hour. Take your cookies out of the refrigerator and place them directly into your preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes. The edges should be a light golden brown. Cool and serve.

Notes

1. For best results, use a springerle cookie mold with a deep design.
