The easy cheesy cookies are amazing. We always had them (store bought) at my in-laws for “borrel” time (appetizer). With moving to the US that was one of the things that we were missing. These are even better and so easy to make. My oven is a little funky so needed to bake them for 5 minutes longer and increase temp to 400 F for the last 5 minutes.

Thanks for the recipe.

I have only just begun, making cookies. Family members seem to like my peanut butter ones. However I am going to try making these, I like cheese!

They are fantastic and so addictive . Thank you for such a great recipe. I have already made them three times , the first version was using gouda cheese , second was using cheddar and third was by eliminating cheese and adding a bit of salt and some were topped with sesame , some with granulated sugar(kind of caramelized on top ) and some with icing sugar (after baking). I think many variations can be made with this , and i will still be making different variations in the future.

In reply to Nancy.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for pointing out this error. Yes you are right it has to be 0.12 inch (or 0.118 to be exact). I already corrected it in the recipe.
Your jalapeno jam sounds like a great combo with the cookies.

Happy baking and enjoy the holiday season!

Greetings from Holland,

Seasons greetings! I’m planning on making your cheesy cookies today and I think there’s a typo in the recipe. Rolling them to 3 mm would be closer to .25 inch I believe. 1.2 inches would be 30.5 mm. Or are they meant to be a thick cookie? I’m going to try them with a dollop of jalapeno jam (slightly sweet with a nice heat to it) that a friend made.

On behalf of your friends in the U.S., can you confirm if this is correct or not? Thank you!

Greetings from Java,

I have tried your recipe and it worked out really great. Though my cookies a little bit salty (I did not at any salt at all), I think it was due to the kind of cheddar cheese we have here in Indonesia.

Thank you for the recipe, great website you have here!

We told you Pete..they are too good..you keep eating them. First time I made them I was so surprised that such an easy recipe turns out like delicate puff pastry.

Happy Baking!

these are so easy and just delightful – melt in your mouth like puff pastry

highly recommended (mine came out of the oven 45 mins ago and there’s only about 6 left out of 25)

Hello Delia, Indeed, there is no sugar in these cookies! Success with the baking, Marieke PS: Angie, from 'my kitchen my laboratory', has made a wonderful herby version with my basic recipe.

My mom (we are Dutch living in the U.S.) makes these cheese balls. Delicious!

I linked my blog to yours and showcased your Speculaas recipe. Hope you don’t mind!
