Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.33 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
• 0.33 cups fig preserves
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and is evenly blended.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 18 equal portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into small balls.

Step 5

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently press your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon into the center of each ball to create a small indent.

Step 6

Fill each indent with a crumble of Gorgonzola cheese (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie).

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden and slightly firm.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

Step 9

While the cookies are still warm, spoon a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of fig preserves into the center of each one.

Step 10

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, garnish each cookie with a few fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 11

Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
