Kaass Stengel (Savoury Cheese Cookie)

A fellow FB follower shared this Kaass Stengel (Savoury Cheese Cookies) recipe and gave a thumbs up for it.  When I saw this, it reminded me of a cheese cookie that I ate from Indonesia.  So I was wondering whether it will be the same thing.

Being a cheese lover family, another recipe with cheese will always be a delight to have and I think these will go so well with a mug of beer.

I have replaced the margarine with butter and thus my dough is a soft.  Thus need to divide the dough into portion to work with.

Findings: The cookie is light and cheesy.  Really love it.  I change the Edam cheese to Grugyere as that is what I have in the fridge.
