Quick Parmesan Biscuits Recipe - Made without Eggs and Butter

To make these cheese biscuits/cookies I have used parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, a spoonful of cornflour, baking powder and salt. I substituted the butter with clarified butter or ghee. To flavour the biscuits I have used garlic powder and dried parsley. But I will say fresh parsley is always better than dried ones. I didn’t have that so I used the dried herb instead. To give the biscuits a little colour, I added a small amount of turmeric powder. It’s totally optional, you can leave that one out if you want. And for kneading the dough, I used milk. You can use any kind of milk.

Then mix all the ingredients and make a firm dough. Cover it with cling wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. After that take it out and roll it. Using a cookie cutter, cut the biscuits. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, then before wrapping and placing the dough in the refrigerator, shape it into a log. Then unwrap and cut it into thick slices, with a knife. Bake them until they become golden. Delicious parmesan biscuits are ready to serve. It will go really well with both tea and coffee. And you can also store them for 4-5 days, just don’t forget to place them in an airtight container.
