Parmesan Cheese Bites

From our Best Bake Sale cookbook, pg. 131

Yield: About 2 dozen bites

A great option for something savory instead of sweet, these fabulous and super easy-to-make savory bites make the perfect cheesy snack. Bonus: only five ingredients.

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 stick (1/4 pound) unsalted butter, cut up into tiny bits
• 2 tablespoons whole milk

Place the flour, cheese, cayenne and butter in a food processor and pulse until well blended.

Shape the dough into 2 logs, wrap in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove the dough from the wrapping, cut into ¼-inch slices and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice with milk and bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool.
