Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop scoops of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the topping by melting the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stirring in the garlic powder and dried parsley.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, immediately brush the garlic-butter mixture over the tops of each biscuit using a pastry brush.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then serve warm and enjoy!
