## Ingredients

- 150 g grated yellow cheese with a "pronounced" flavor
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 150 g butter (cold, from the fridge)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- salt
- pepper
- hot paprika powder
- caraway seeds
- flour for rolling out the dough

**For brushing the cookies:**

- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- grated cheese, almond halves, sesame seeds, caraway seeds

## Instructions

Yesterday I had a meeting at my daughter's daycare, and I felt like bringing something along. Something not sweet, so people could nibble on it in between. I wasn't really surprised that these cookies vanished in an instant. They are just so good, and addictive! I was immediately asked to share the recipe.

These cookies are crumbly and delicate, perfect for a get-together with friends over beer, or simply as a savory snack. They are definitely healthier than chips, and even tastier.

Crumbly cheese cookies

The recipe is inspired by a Dutch recipe from [Frau Antje](http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/3898360725?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwdrdukande-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1638&creative=6742&creativeASIN=3898360725).

**Directions:**

Briefly mix together the flour, butter, egg, sour cream, salt, and paprika to taste. Just enough to get a firm dough. Shape it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight. I didn't have time for that, though, and went straight to baking, and the cookies were still crumbly and tasty.

Roll the chilled dough out to a thickness of about 5 mm and cut out cookies. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with a mixture of the egg yolk and cream. Sprinkle with the toppings or place a (peeled) almond half on each one, and bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy!

  I just made the cookies using your recipe – they're delicious ;) Unfortunately I was a little late taking them out of the oven, so here and there you can taste some burnt cheese (I think I also put too much into the dough, so they're more like "cheesies" than cookies), but they're still really good, and I hope they disappear from the table quickly ;)  
  I think there's a mistake in the recipe – the cheese is in the ingredients for the dough, but then you don't mention it later – unless I misunderstood something? ;)

    I'm glad you liked the cookies. I hope they disappeared quickly :) Thank you for pointing out the mistake. I'm fixing it now. Of course, the cheese should be kneaded in together with the dough.
