A holiday treat to share with you! These are the perfect little morsels to share on a cheese tray with holiday drinks.

1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, softened

3/4 cup (175 mL) shredded old cheddar cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh basil

1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh rosemary

1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour

1. In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer; beat butter until almost white in colour. Beat in cheese, garlic, basil and rosemary until smooth. Stir in flour until ragged dough starts to form.
2. Using hands, knead dough to come together. Roll into a 9 inch (22.5 cm) log and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Make-ahead: Log can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
3. Slice log into 1/4 inch (5 mm) rounds and place onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350 F (180 C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool.
