Ingredients
  • 1 cup Vegetable shortening; *
  • 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter; *
  • 1/4 cup Egg whites
  • 1/4 cup Honey
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, beat vegetable shortening and unsalted butter with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy and smooth.
  3. 3
    Add egg whites and honey to the bowl; beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. 4
    In a separate medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese.
  5. 5
    Gradually beat the flour mixture into the shortening mixture until just combined.
  6. 6
    Gather the dough into a ball and divide it in half, then into fourths, and continue dividing until you have 36 small pieces.
  7. 7
    Lightly flour your hands and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. 8
    Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. 9
    Use a floured fork to gently press down on each ball in a crisscross pattern to flatten them.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each cookie if desired.
  11. 11
    Bake in the preheated oven until firm and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  12. 12
    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.
