Ingredients
Cheddar Pistachio Cookies
- Ingredients
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Pastry flour
- 1 generous pinch Baking powder
- ground paprika
- 40 grams cold butter (cubed)
- 40 grams finely chopped Pistachio
- 2 Tbsps finely grated Parmesan
Finely grate the cheddar cheese and mix with the flour, baking powder and paprika in a large bowl. Distribute the butter over the top and mix everything together with a pastry cutter or two forks. Add the chopped pistachios and quickly knead with hands to form a smooth dough.
Shape the dough into a roll about 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) in diameter, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Cut the dough into slices about 5-6 mm (approximately 1/5-1/4 inch) thick and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly press each cookie with a meat tenderizer and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C/160°C convection/gas mark 2-3 (approximately 350°F/325°F convection) for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
