Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
1 Large egg
1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (packed)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar (if using)
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until thoroughly combined
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder to the dough and mix until evenly distributed
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into uniform balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter
- Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. They should sound hollow when tapped lightly
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack
