Yum. A favorite! No idea where this originally came from but my great-grandmother made them often. Warning: these are highly addictive.
Cream ¾ cup butter with 1½ cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Sift together 1½ cups flour, ¾ teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Add to creamed mixture and stir well. Pat the dough in a cooky press. Press out on baking sheets, in shapes to your fancy. Bake in a moderate oven, 350° F. for 12 minutes. If no cooky press is available, chill the dough and shape into a roll, chill again and slice, but they won’t look like daisies of course. Makes about 2 dozen cheese daisies.
Update
A picture and someone…seems a bit fond of them…and won’t share any more of them than she already has.
ok you can make these while I am doing yardwork.
OMG these are so good – everyone should make them. And eat a few warm from the oven. And then pack the rest in a box and send them to me.
Awesome!
These are great!
These look good. Real good.
