Herb Cheese Cookie Balls

This is a wonderful mix of herbs, garlic and grating cheese formed into a ball (and pressed down with a fork if desired). You can't go wrong with this recipe.

115 g German #405 flour 100 g Unsalted butter, chilled 70 g Cheddar, grated 60 g Parmigiano reggiano, grated

1 tbsp Garlic powder 1 tsp Dried parsley (curly or flat) 1 tsp Dried marjoram 1 tsp Dried basil 1/5 tsp Salt

1. Line a baking tray with paper. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Sift the flour into a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   
   
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Shape dough into balls using 1 teaspoonful for each. Makes approximately 27 balls. Alternatively use a fork to press the cheese balls create a pretty cross-hatching pattern on the cookies. Place them in the lined baking tray and bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool on a rack.
