Cheesy cookies

Cheesy cookies are a delightful savory treat that combines the rich taste of cheddar cheese with a buttery, flaky base. Perfect for snacking or pairing with soups, these cookies are simple to make and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
2/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
80g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
50g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it's not already shredded.
- Measure out the butter, flour, and lemon juice.
3. Mix the Dough:
- 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.
4. Shape the Cookies:
- 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.
5. Bake:
- 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.
6. Cool:
- 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.

Enjoy your homemade cheesy cookies as an anytime snack or serve them as an appetizer at your next gathering. With their irresistible cheesy goodness and buttery texture, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone!
