Grandma always had a tin of these sitting on the counter, and they never lasted long in our house. We’d grab them one after another—they’re just that irresistible. The best part? They’re made with only 4 simple ingredients.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheese
Grate the cheddar using the fine side of a box grater.
Tip: Skip pre-shredded cheese—it contains additives that can affect texture and prevent a smooth dough.

Step 2: Make the Base
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Add the shredded cheese and mix until fully combined into a thick, spreadable consistency. Stir in the salt.

Step 3: Form the Dough
Gradually add the flour, about ½ cup at a time, mixing gently. The dough may seem dry at first, but continue mixing or kneading until it becomes smooth and pliable. If it feels crumbly, knead it a bit longer to help the butter soften.
