Very nice! Savory biscuit is a good description. Was not sure what to expect when I tagged these as it said biscuit but reading the recipe sound more like a cracker. Mine turned out more like a savory short bread. The cornmeal adds a lot to the texture and is a wonderful complement to the olive oil and rosemary. Made one slight mistake in make, added all the Parmesan cheese at the time of mixing and did not sprinkle any on top. Also increased the olive oil to a full 6 ounces and baked for 20 to 25 minutes. Would recommend checking after baking for 15 minutes as my oven may be a little off, but they should be firm to the touch. <br/>We enjoyed as a snack and thought they would be great with either soup or salad. If you are like use and enjoy the flavor combo of olive oil and rosemary in a shortbread type of biscuit you will enjoy these tasty little bites. Will make again. Thanks for the post.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
