Place butter, salt and mustard in a food processor with a metal blade. Whirl just until combined. Add cheese and whirl just until mixed. Add flour and chili flakes to butter mixture and pulse just until mixed. Do not overmix.
Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Press each cookie down slightly with bottom of a glass until about 1/2 inch thick for cakey shortbread or 1/4 inch thick for crisp shortbread. Bake in centre of 350º F oven until lightly golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool on a rack. Store in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 weeks. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
Note: You can also make these shortbreads by hand or with an electric mixer. |
