* 150 g [5 oz - 1.5 cups] Plain flour
* ¼ teaspoon Chili powder
* ¼ teaspoon Smoked paprika powder
* ½ teaspoon Sea salt
* 60 g [2.5 oz] Butter cut into small cubes
* 225 g [8 oz] strong Cheddar cheese, roughly Grated

===Method===
* Add the dry ingredients to a Food processor with a metal blade and pulse until combined.
* Add the Butter and Cheese and mix until it separates into small balls. Don't over mix.
* Tip into a bowl and knead with your hands to combine into a pliable dough.
* Wrap the Dough in Cling-film and allow to Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
* You can refrigerate at this stage and bake the cheese cookies later. If you do this, allow the dough to get back to room temperature.
* Roll the dough out to form a tube and cut into fairly thin slices, about 2 mm is good, this way they are lovely and crisp once you allow them to cool.
* Lay the slices on a non-greased baking tray
* Bake in the middle of the Oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges begin to Brown
* Remove from the baking tray with a metal spatula and leave to cool on a rack.
