- 300 grams Pastry flour
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 2 Tbsps Whipped cream
- 200 grams cold butter

Finely grate cheese. Sift flour on the work surface. Add baking powder and pepper and mix well, make a well in the center and pour cream into the well. Cut butter into small pieces and arrange around the well. Place cheese on top and knead everything quickly to a smooth dough. Shape into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 1 hour.
Divide pastry into 3 parts and roll out each part between two layers of plastic wrap until about 3 mm thin (approximately 0.01 inch). Cut out different shaped cookies with cookie cutter. Mix egg yolks with 2-3 tablespoons of water and brush cookies with the mixture. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, coarse salt, caraway, poppy or sesame seeds. Arrange on a lined with parchment paper baking sheet and bake in preheated oven at 175°C (approximatley 350°F) for about 10 minutes or until golden. Prepare all cookies in the same manner until all pastry is used. Remove from oven and serve.

Healthy, because
Nibbles with added value: Carvone and other essential oils from caraway stimulate the secretion of stomach acid and other digestive juices. This supports our digestion with hearty food. Poppy seeds and seeds contain a lot of the mineral magnesium, which strengthens nerves and muscles.
Even smarter
Depending on your preference, you can refine the piquant pastry with other toppings. How about sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or rosemary?
