Chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least one hour (and overnight is fine too, if it works better).\u00c2\u00a0 When you&#8217;re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 325\u00c2\u00b0 Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment, or grease them well. With a sharp knife, slice into thin rounds (~1\/4-inch), and place on the cookie sheet with a bit of space between (they shouldn&#8217;t spread that much). Bake until lightly golden on the edges, ~15-20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool fully, then store in an airtight container until party time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1\/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 8 ounces grated cheese (I used a mix of sharp cheddar, aged gouda, and a wee bit of Romano) 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon coarse salt (or less, if your cheese is particularly salty) 1 cup all-purpose flour scant 1\/2 cup chopped hazelnuts \u00c2\u00a0 In a large bowl or a stand mixer, beat together the butter, cheese and rosemary until well combined (using a paddle attachment or&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=13651\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,5],"tags":[68],"class_list":["post-13651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-appetizers-snacks","category-starches","tag-entertaining"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13651"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17337,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13651\/revisions\/17337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
