These lovely savory snacks are a cross between a cracker and a savory cookie. Great on their own, they also are a tasty addition to any cheese board or platter.
I served them with a dab of warm cream cheese on them and they were a huge hit.
The best part is the recipe comes together in a cinch. Mix the ingredients together, roll into a log, chill, slice, and bake.
Of course, I tried to make the recipe more complicated by toasting the cumin seeds first. They get plenty toasted in the oven while baking so note to self: skip this step in the future. Toasting them did make my kitchen smell amazing though.
Sometimes, it’s the little things…
Try these for your next gathering. Your guests will not be disappointed.
