Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it's not already shredded.
- Measure out the butter, flour, and lemon juice.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add in the flour, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Season the dough with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure an even seasoning.
- Divide the dough into approximately 12 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly to form a cookie shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For a smooth dough, ensure that the butter is at room temperature before mixing.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely to ensure it incorporates well into the dough.
- Feel free to add a pinch of paprika or cayenne for an extra kick of flavor.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gouda or Parmesan, for varied flavor profiles.
