MICK MCGURK'S CHEESE BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt butter in a large bowl. I do this in the microwave.
• Add flour, cayenne and salt. Mix well. You can use a hand mixer at this stage.
• 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.
• Shape dough into one-inch balls.
• Roll in coconut.
• Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
• Place on a cookie sheet and bake until golden -- about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, especially if your oven runs hot.

CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Place cheese, butter, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor; process until a dough is formed, about 10 seconds. Turn dough out onto work surface and divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log; wrap with wax or parchment paper and refrigerate until dough is firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Unwrap dough and slice each log crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place dough rounds on prepared baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart; gently press a pecan half into the center of each. Brush with egg whites and sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• Bake biscuits until crisp, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MAYONNAISE BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Sieve flour and baking powder, set aside.
• Mix the mayonnaise, sugar, salt and vanilla paste.
• Add the flour to the mayonnaise and mix well.
• Depending on the brand of mayonnaise you may need to add an extra tablespoon of flour if it is still sticky.
• Form into small balls and roll in extra sugar.
• Place onto baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
