Ingredients
Cookies:
1 pound grated Cheddar
6 ounces pastured unsalted butter, room temperature
8 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour
1/8 ounce paprika
1/8 ounce red pepper flakes
1/8 ounce sea salt
1/2 cup chopped beef jerky (better if you make your own!)
2 tablespoons dehydrated onions
Tomato Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Dash salt
Directions
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whip together the Cheddar and butter until fluffy. Mix together the flour, paprika, pepper flakes and sea salt, and then gradually whip into the butter/Cheddar mixture. Stir in the beef jerky and onions until combined.
- Scoop balls of dough 2 to 3 inches apart on a baking sheet using a tablespoon-size disher. Flatten the dough balls to about 1/4-inch thick with the bottom of a greased-up glass. Bake until the edges just start to brown, about 9 minutes.
- For the frosting: Meanwhile, whip together the cream cheese, tomato paste and salt.
- Let the cookies cool, then frost and enjoy!
