Blue Cheese and Currant Shortbread Biscuits how to Make

1. Cream the butter and sugar.
2. Add the flour and salt.
3. Mix in the chives and currants.
4. Roll out on top of plastic wrap to form ¼ inch thick rectangle. (this step eliminates the need for flour on the counter and makes it easy to roll up).
5. Combine the blue cheese, cream cheese and heavy cream in a bowl until smooth.
6. Spread it out all over the top of the shortbread dough.
7. Roll it up like cinnamon rolls.
8. Slice into ¼ inch slices and put on a cookie sheet
9. ( I highly recommend you use a Silpat or other silicon baking sheet liner, but it’s not necessary).
10. Bake 325 degrees for 17-19 minutes.
11. You want these a little bit brown around the edges.
12. The chives and cheese caramelize on the bottom and create an amazing foil to the sweetness of the shortbread and currants.
