Move over, sweet shortbread—there’s a new star in the cookie jar.
Cheesy Jalapeño Shortbread is the unexpected savory treat that’s buttery, crumbly, and packed with sharp cheddar and a kick of roasted jalapeño—all wrapped in the elegant simplicity of classic shortbread.
Crisp at the edges, tender in the center, and flecked with golden cheese and green heat, these cookies are the ultimate party bite:
- Perfect with a cold beer or crisp white wine
- Ideal alongside soup, salad, or charcuterie
- Shockingly moreish (you’ve been warned—one is never enough)
And the best part? They’re ready in 30 minutes, use one bowl, and look like you fussed—even though they’re gloriously simple.
Let’s bake a batch that will have everyone asking, “You made these yourself?!”
