The Wookey Cookie

Makes 18 cookies

Prep: 15 minutes

Cooling/Chilling: 1.5 hours

Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

-1 ½ cup Wookey Hole Cheese

-1 cup Unsalted Butter

-1/3 cup Granulated Sugar

-1/4 tsp of Vanilla

- 1 ½ tbsp Orange Zest

- 1 tsp Sea Salt

-1 ½ cup of All Purpose Flour

- 61% Dark Chocolate

Instructions:

1. Finely grate Wookey Hole and orange zest into a bowl.

2. Incorporate butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl with the cheese

and zest mixture.

3. Gradually fold in the flour, stirring at a low speed, until you achieve a dough that's cohesive

yet slightly crumbly.

4.Gently bring the dough together to create a single dough ball. If necessary, knead it briefly

to combine, but avoid over-kneading.

5.Shape the dough into a uniform log measuring about 6-7 inches in length. Encase it tightly

in plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 90

minutes. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

6. When ready to bake, set your oven to 350F and line your baking trays with parchment

paper.

7. Bake the cookie slices for 12-15 minutes. They should have a slight golden hue around the

edges while retaining a lighter color on top. A longer bake will make the cookies crunchier,

whereas a shorter bake will keep them softer.

8.Once baked, set the cookies aside on a cooling rack until they're completely cooled.

9.Roughly chop the chocolate into smaller bits.

10. Melt the chocolate either using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, begin

with a 1-minute interval, followed by 15-second intervals, ensuring you stir after each.

11. Quarter-dip each cookie into the melted chocolate.

12. Garnish the chocolate-covered section with a sprinkle of Wookey Hole cheese and some

additional orange zest to boost flavor.

13. Allow the chocolate on the cookies to solidify for around 30 minutes before enjoying

them.
