These cookies, made with cream cheese and grated cheese, are wonderfully aromatic and crispy. They make a delightful gift.
The origin of this recipe: Using only cream cheese lacks aroma, and using only grated cheese makes it overwhelmingly cheesy. By combining them and adding Grand Marnier, I achieved a subtle citrusy sweet aroma.

  1. 120 gall-purpose flour (Dolce used)
  2. 30 ggrated cheese
  3. 64 gunsalted butter
  4. 2 pieces (36 g)cream cheese (Philadelphia 18g blocks)
  5. 45 gsugar (granulated)
  6. 1 teaspoonGrand Marnier

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation: Break up any clumps in the grated cheese with your hands until it's fine, then mix evenly with the all-purpose flour using a whisk.

  2. 2

    Soften the butter and cream cheese to room temperature and mix with a spatula until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the sugar to the mixture in step 2 and mix evenly with a spatula. No need to make it fluffy!

  4. 4

    Add the Grand Marnier to the mixture in step 3 and mix quickly with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Add the flour mixture from step 4 and mix gently. It's okay if it looks crumbly. Don't overmix.

  6. 6

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, form into a ball, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Divide the chilled dough into two parts and shape each into a log about 3 cm square. Round shapes are also fine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  8. 8

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before cutting the dough.

  9. 9

    Cut the dough into slices about 1/4 inch thick and bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for about 20 minutes. Be careful not to overbake, as ovens vary.

  10. 10

    This is the grated cheese I used. It's very fine and perfect for baking, resulting in a crisp finish.
