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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolk. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Mix the dough gently with your hands until it comes together in a compact ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Place the cookie shapes onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Optionally, drizzle the cooled cookies with honey for a sweet-savory twist, and enjoy!
