Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened butter, all-purpose flour, sesame seeds, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon until they form a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Divide the dough into small, marble-sized balls, about 1 teaspoon of dough each, and roll them between your palms to make them smooth.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the crispies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Sesame Cheese Crispies as a snack or appetizer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
