Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 g All-purpose flour
- 115 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 120 g Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 30 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 40 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 tbsp Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolk. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix the dough gently with your hands until it comes together in a compact ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1 cm thick. Use a cookie cutter of your choice to cut out shapes.
Place the cookie shapes onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, drizzle the cooled cookies with honey for a sweet-savory twist, and enjoy!
