CHEESE HOODIE RECIPES

Steps:

• The key is having the butter and cheese at room temperature before starting and hand shredding the cheese. Commercially prepared shredded cheese has a coating on it to keep it from sticking and that is exactly what we want from the cheese in this case.
• Beat first 5 ingredients at medium speed with a heavy-duty stand mixer until blended. Gradually add flour, beating just until combined.
• Use a cookie press with a star-shaped disk to shape mixture into long ribbons, following manufacturer's instructions, on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Cut ribbons into 2-inch pieces.
• Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
• WAFERS: Combine ingredients as directed; chill dough 2 hours. Shape dough into 4 (8-inch-long) logs; wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill 8 hours. Cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container 1 week.
• NOTE: If you don't have a heavy-duty stand mixer, you can use a handheld mixer. Just divide the ingredients in half, and work with two batches.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together with your hand.
• Make teaspoon size balls.
• Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookies sheet.
• Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Bake at 400°F 15-20 minutes until set.
