Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened butter, flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Mix the ingredients together using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. If the dough feels too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until it comes together.
Take about 1 teaspoon of dough and flatten it in your palm.
Place a green olive in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining olives and dough.
Arrange the dough-wrapped olives on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each snack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crisp.
Remove the snacks from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your cheesy olive snacks!
