Categories: cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 ounces Cheddar Cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
• Black and / Or white Sesame Seeds

Directions

1. Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size clumps of butter remaining. Add the Parmesan and pulse until dough comes together.

2. Form the dough into two 12-by-1 1/2-inch logs. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or up to 2 days.

3. Heat oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

4. Cut the logs into 3/8-inch slices. Dip top flat side of cookie in sesame seeds. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
