Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Cover two baking sheets with baking paper.

Sift the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Mix with the fingertips the butter into the flour till the dough resembles breadcrumbs.

Make a hole and add beaten egg, grated cheese, chopped fresh herbs and the ice water. Mix with a knife to a crumbly dough. Roll the dough between 2 sheets baking paper to a 3 mm thick sheet. Remove the upper paper and cut circles of 5 cm from the dough. Place the circles on the baking sheets. Roll the dough rests and cut more circles.

Bake the circles in about 8 minutes pale brown. Let cool on a wire rack.

Stir the cream cheese and butter for the stuffing in a bowl to a creamy mixture. Add the chopped herbs and grated cheese. Divide a 1/2 teaspoon stuffing over half of the cookies and top with the other half.
