Spiced Savory Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with water. Add the egg mixture to the large bowl and mix until the dough comes together. Roll the dough into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the spiced savory cookies as a delicious appetizer or snack.
