Soon we will kick off the festivus season by eating into a big bird and fighting the tryptophan with a gingerbread latte. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
For your holiday baking pleasure, I share with you my #1 go-to recipe perfect for taking to a party when you don't know what to bring but don't want to bring cookies, because you will vomit cotton candy if you eat more sugar. It's the perfect balance against all the sweet. Pop one in between the cookies and macaroons to cleanse the palate, and you'll never stop eating. Yes, these will make you fat. Fat, but happy (with strong bones from the cheese and moisturized lips from the grease).
Please, do not make this for a party that I will be attending. It's mine, and it's the only reliable contribution to the hostess' kitchen I can make besides booze.
mini-cheese biscuits
4 cups all purpose flour
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp. salt, a sprinkle of black pepper
3 sticks butter, melted (gross, is this recipe right?)
2 teaspoons chili powder (or even up to 2 tablespoons, depending on how spicy)
grated nutmeg (a fat pinch, but do it to taste)
Melt butter. Mix in everything else. Roll into tiny balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork, about the size of a fifty cent piece. Bake 12-20 minutes at 375 degrees until brownish.
Enjoy alongside chocolate, wine, and other treats.

Oh how I miss the holidays in NY, and especially your mini cheese biscuits! Maybe I'll bake some when we get to Buenos Aires for Christmas - thanks for the recipe! xo
These sound good! I am going to try this recipe.
