Cheese shortbread cookies are delicious savory biscuits enriched with grated Sbrinz cheese and grated Emmenthal cheese. They are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, perfect to enjoy on their own or accompanied by a flavorful spreadable cheese or an excellent sauce. This recipe is easy to prepare and ideal for an aperitif with friends or a casual dinner.
Place the softened butter, grated cheeses, necessary salt, sweet paprika, and cream in a bowl and mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Sift the white flour together with the baking powder onto the work surface, add the butter mixture, and work everything with your hands, continuously crumbling the dough until you have used up all the flour.
Knead the crumbs together until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.
Avoid working it too long, then gather it into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for two hours wrapped in a sheet of aluminum foil.
After the indicated time, roll out the dough with a rolling pin on the floured work surface to obtain a sheet about half a centimeter thick.
Cut out many shortbread cookies of different shapes from the dough using shaped cutters and line them up on the baking sheet.
Brush the surface of the cookies with egg yolk, sprinkle some with sesame seeds, others with cumin, and chopped pistachios.
