Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy using a handheld or stand mixer.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and granulated sugar to the bowl. Continue mixing until fully combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, finely chopped rosemary, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-cheese mixture, beating at low speed until fully incorporated and a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolk with the milk to create an egg wash.
Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired disc shape. Press the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Lightly brush the tops of the cookies with the egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as a savory snack, appetizer, or alongside a cheese board. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
