In a season of sweetness, a gift of crunchy "cookies" is welcome. These rounds are especially well received when guests drop in for a glass of wine or special cocktail. (From the December issue "Gifts from the Kitchen.")
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese or old cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 tbsp whipping cream
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Pinch Salt
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
Preparation
Line large rimless baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat; set aside.
In large bowl, beat together cheese, butter and cream. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, pepper and salt. Add to cheese mixture; stir to form ragged dough. With floured hands, press dough together.
Pour sesame seeds into shallow bowl. Roll dough by 1 tsp (5 mL) into balls. Dip in egg wash; roll in sesame seeds. Place, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on prepared pan. With bottom of glass, press to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Chill for 30 minutes.
Bake in centre of 300°F (150°C) oven until firm to the touch and slightly darkened on bottom, about 35 minutes. Let cool on racks. (Make-ahead: Store layered between waxed paper in airtight container for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
