Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325ðF (163ðC).
-
In a large bowl, beat vegetable shortening and unsalted butter with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy and smooth.
-
Add egg whites and honey to the bowl; beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
-
In a separate medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese.
-
Gradually beat the flour mixture into the shortening mixture until just combined.
-
Gather the dough into a ball and divide it in half, then into fourths, and continue dividing until you have 36 small pieces.
-
Lightly flour your hands and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
-
Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Use a floured fork to gently press down on each ball in a crisscross pattern to flatten them.
-
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each cookie if desired.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until firm and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
-
For extra crunch, turn off the oven after baking and leave the cookies inside with the door closed for 5 minutes, ensuring they don't stick by sliding a spatula under each one.
