Mick Mcgurk’s Cheese Biscuits (Cookies)

INGREDIENTS

• 8ounces butter, melted
• 10ounces self-raising flour
• 1teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¹⁄₂-1teaspoon salt
• 8ounces cheddar cheese, grated (use tasty, sharp, strong)
• ¹⁄₂cup desiccated coconut (shredded)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Melt butter in a large bowl. I do this in the microwave.
3. Add flour, cayenne and salt. Mix well. You can use a hand mixer at this stage.
4. Add grated cheese and mix well. You may need to use a wooden spoon to mix. Please use a nice cheese that has some bite.
5. Shape dough into one-inch balls.
6. Roll in coconut.
7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
8. Place on a cookie sheet and bake until golden — about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, especially if your oven runs hot.
