Ingredients (serves 6):

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup cold water


Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is cold when you start making the dough. This will help ensure that the gems are flaky and tender.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix it just until it comes together, then stop. Overworking the dough can make it tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the gems. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the cold water to the bowl and mix until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it is smooth.
6. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Use a small cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut out the gems.
7. Place the gems on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
8. Serve the gems warm or at room temperature.
