Cheddar Cheese Cookies

"A really nice change from all the sweet cookies out there. Can be used as a appetizer too. They need to chill for 1 hour before baking. I used to have a co-worker who I HAD to make these for every year at our Christmas party."

  1. Wonderful little appetizers! Melting the butter and mixing everything together, rather than cutting the butter into the flour, was a change I welcomed. I did form them a bit different--rather than rolling them into balls, I formed into two logs, wrapped in plastic wrap, refrigerated for about an hour and a half, then cut into approxiately 1/4-inch rounds and baked on parchment paper. I added a little cayenne pepper to the dough to kick the flavor up a bit and baked in a convection oven at 350F for about 12 minutes. We loved them!
     
  2. I love the simplicity of this recipe. I also make it with Monterey jack cheese and get requests from co-workers for these all the time
     
  3. Marg, I LOVE these! I've been making them for several years and they make wonderful appetizers. Try rolling them into walnut-sized balls and pressing a small cube of ham in the middle before baking. I also like to add about 1/4 tsp garlic powder and/or 2 tsp red chile seeds or 1/4 tsp black pepper to the mixture for variety. I bake mine on a stone baking sheet and they come out so good! I'm so glad you had this recipe in here! (I love your other recipes and pictures too!)
     
  4. very nice. I added some spices (ancho pepper and garlic). Right out of the oven they had a strange texture, but once they cooled they were quite tasty!
     
  5. So easy but so good. Tender, buttery, slightly crisp cheddar goodness. I, too, rolled the dough into two logs, refrigerated, then sliced and baked. I added a bit of cayenne to half of the dough. Delicious both ways!
