ingredients

1 ²⁄₃ cups aged gouda cheese, grated
1 cup flour
3 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons soft butter
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until the dough forms a crumbly, doughy texture. Shape into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle your work surface with flour and roll the dough out thinly to 3/32" thickness (3 mm). Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter and keep rolling out the dough as required, until you have used it all up.
Line a cookie sheet with non-stick parchment paper and bake cookies for 10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Makes about 30 Gouda cookies, depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
