👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Cut Butter & Roll
Cut butter into flour, bind with cheese and egg white, roll 1/4-inch thick, cut into cookies, brush with yolk, top with sesame and paprika, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 mins.
❄️ Storing & Reheating Leftovers
Refrigeration: Allow the dish to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a small splash of water or olive oil, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly warmed. This preserves the delicate moisture without drying out the texture.
