Tip from the Kitchen

If you can't find a specific recipe for "Dutch Cheese Cookies," you can use a similar concept from farmer's cheese cookies. Here's how you can adjust the recipe to make a Dutch-style cheese cookie:

1. Grate the Butter: Use a grater or food processor to grate the butter into a large bowl.
2. Blend Cheese and Flour: Cut in the cheese into the grated butter until crumbly. Add flour, egg yolks, and water. Knead until it forms a cohesive dough.
3. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour or up to several days.
4. Shape and Bake: Roll out the dough thinly. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 19-22 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
