Savory Quinoa Cheese Cookies:             

* 6 Tbsp. butter
* 2Tbsp. Neufchatel cheese (or low fat cream cheese)
* 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Using an electric mixer, cream butter, Neufchatel cheese and cheddar cheese together. Sift together remaining ingredients. Add to butter-cheese mixture, beating with an electric mixer until a soft dough forms. If dough is too crumbly, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a clean surface and form into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze 15-20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap the dough. Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are lightly browned on the bottom. Cool completely on a cooling rack.

Makes approximately 30 cookies.
