Gouda Cookies

f

Ingredients:

  • 1 2/3 cups aged Gouda cheese, grated (200 g)
  • 1 cup flour (100 g)
  • 3 1/2 tbsp soft butter (50 g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Preparation:

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.

Tips:

The cheese you need is known as Oude Kaas in the Netherlands. If you can’t find agedGouda, simply use some good Parmigiano Reggiano instead.

Variation: Mix in some chili flakes for a feisty punch.
