These babies smelled really good when they were taken out of the oven. Everyone took some food, we ate a lot before dinner.

Mix the salt and flour in a large bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add the cold butter until the mixture looks like crumbs.
Mix the egg, then put in the grated cheese and chopped jalapeños. Mix together.

Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour after forming it into a ball.

Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400°F.

Place the cold dough, formed into small 1-inch balls, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased.

To flatten the dough balls, use a cup or a jar.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until they turn slightly brown.

After 5 minutes, transfer the baked items from the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can savor these Cheesy Jalapeño Shortbread cookies as a snack, starter, or side dish, making them a versatile delight. If you offer these at your next gathering, guests will quickly eat them all!
