Ingredients

– cheddar cheese – unsalted butter –  salt – garlic powder – cayenne powder – all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Use a box grater to shred the cheese.

1

Use a mixer to blend the cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the salt, garlic powder, and cayenne and mix to combine. Gradually add the flour and mix well.

2

Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough out and place it apart on the prepared pan. If desired, use a fork to gently press the tines into the top of each cookie. Dipping the fork in water will help if the dough sticks.

3

Bake until golden brown. Bake shorter for a crispy exterior and chewy interior. Bake longer for crispy throughout. Cool on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack. Work in batches until all the dough has been cooked.
