By BearForce

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, cut up
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
• Parchment paper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring first 2 ingredients and 1 cup water to a rolling boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat cook, stirring constantly for 1 minutes. Add flour all at once and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 1 minute or until mixture is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan, forming a ball of dough. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. (Dough will begin to dry out). Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.

2. Pat pimiento dry with paper towels, and finely chop.

3. Add eggs to dough, 1 at a time, stirring until blended after each addition. Add pimiento, cheese, and next 2 ingredients; stir 2 minutes or until fully combined.

4. Drop the dough by level tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart onto 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
