Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (175g)
1 cup grated Parmesan or Kashkaval cheese (100g)
1/2 teaspoon salt
100g butter
1-2 tablespoons liquid (cream, water, or milk)

Dill (for tree leaves)
Edible red and white candy balls (for ornaments)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend flour, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Add cubed butter and pulse to form coarse crumbs. Add liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth. Roll out to about 1 cm thickness.
Use cookie cutters to create circles (wreaths) or tree shapes. Decorate with dill for leaves and candy balls for ornaments. Brush with egg wash to secure the toppings.
Bake for 13-14 minutes or until golden.
Cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days.
To freeze, place cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 2 months.
