Flavored with a zesty combination of black pepper, garlic, lemon and Parmesan cheese, these crisp, savory "cookies" - a fun variation on the sweet version - are great for dipping or solo snacking.

12 ServingsPrep: 55 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 eggs
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 to 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and garlic until fluffy. Add
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the
flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon peel, baking powder, pepper
and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, beating until blended
(dough will be stiff).
Divide dough in half. On an ungreased baking sheet, roll each portion
into a 12-in. log. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until
golden brown. Carefully transfer to a wire rack; cool for 15
minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a sharp knife into
1/2-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake
