Cheddar Cheese Crisps

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter (1 stick), softened
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese (do not use pre-shredded cheese) (2 oz/60 g)
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese (2 oz/60 g)
• 3/4 tsp (4 mL) dried dill weed
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) water
• 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C). In large mixing bowl, mix butter, cheeses, dill, mustard and water on low speed of electric mixer 30 seconds or until well blended. Add flour; mix just until flour is incorporated and dough pulls away from sides of bowl (do not over-mix).
