Blue Cheese Cookies. These are just like cheese straws but made with Blue Cheese and shaped like a thumbprint cookie. Fill with cherry, strawberry or fig preserves.

Do you LOVE blue cheese? I mean really love blue cheese. I do! You have to be a fan of Blue Cheese to like these savory cookies. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Blue cheese cookies

This is not a sweet cookie. This is a savory cookie with blue cheese and cayenne pepper that really sets off the flavors. The fruit preserves cool the strong flavors down. This Blue Cheese cookie is like a cheese straw. These cookies are not dessert they are an appetizer.

I tried out the following:

Strawberry

Fig

Cherry

I liked them all but the apricot. The flavors did not do well together. Strawberry was my favorite.
