How to Make Cheese Nips

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds.
  7. Roll out the dough to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut into desired shapes.
  8. Place the cheese nips onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cheese nips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
