Creating savory cookies is easy with these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional black pepper or chili flakes.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Milk: Beat in the egg and milk into the butter mixture until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the grated cheese and chopped herbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These steps will guide you in creating savory cookies that are not only delicious but also fun to make!
