This is a great sweet bite to put out for any holiday gathering. It’s small enough that it doesn’t really count as dessert if you don’t want it to.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup butter, softened
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup peach preserves
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour, cheese, butter, and salt together in a medium bowl. Flatten to a round disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough to ¼ inch thick. Cut into 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Place half of the circles on a large cookie sheet. Put 1 teaspoon of preserves in the center of each circle. Top with the remaining rounds and press the edges together with a fork. Prick the top. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes 18 to 20 servings.
