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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened butter, all-purpose flour, sesame seeds, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon until they form a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small, marble-sized balls, about 1 teaspoon of dough each, and roll them between your palms to make them smooth.

Step 5

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.

Step 6

Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the Sesame Cheese Crispies as a snack or appetizer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
