1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of paprika

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and shredded cheddar until fluffy. Add in the flour, garlic powder, salt, and paprika, mixing until just combined.

Roll the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Use your thumb to press down and create an indentation in each ball.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cheese is melty.

Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
