   In the bowl of a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and softened butter.

   Pulse until the mixture is creamy and well-blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Make sure the butter is properly softened to room temperature for easier blending.

4. 4

   Add the all-purpose flour from the dough group, salt, and paprika to the food processor.

6. 6

   Add the crushed cornflakes and finely chopped almonds.

   Ongeveer 1 min

7. 7

   Pulse just a few times to incorporate the additions without turning them to dust.

8. 8

   Scoop out portions of the dough and roll them between your palms into 1-inch balls.

   Ongeveer 7 min

9. 9

   Place the dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    Dip a fork into the dipping flour and gently press down on each ball, then press again at a 90-degree angle to create a crisscross pattern.

    Ongeveer 2 min

    Tip van de kok: The flour prevents the fork from sticking to the buttery dough.

    Tip van de kok: They will become crispier as they cool.
