For the cookie dough:

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until well combined.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and onion soup powder, then mix in the breadcrumbs * Chef’s tip: Keep 50g aside for coating to ensure extra crunch
  • Add the egg and grated cheese, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into small balls.* Coat half of the balls in the reserved breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Place on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.

  • Arrange the cookie balls, leaving space between them.
