Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional for seasoning)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add cold, cubed butter to the bowl.
Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the egg yolk and mix gently to bring the dough together. If the dough seems dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of cold water, one at a time, until it just holds together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness using a rolling pin. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or knife, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle a light dusting of ground black pepper or paprika on the tops of the cookies if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
Remove from the oven and let the cheese cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your cheese cookie snacks as they are or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
