Ingredients

3.25 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons ice water
6 tablespoons white sesame seeds, divided

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2

Place the cheese into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse to chop the cheese into small pieces. Add in the butter, flours, salt and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds. Blend to a sand like consistency. Pour in the ice water, process until chunks of dough begin to hold together.
3

Use a tablespoon measure to portion the dough into 11 pieces. Working on a flat surface, roll each piece into a rope approximately 8 inches long.
4

Pour the remaining 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds out onto a plate or the flat surface. Roll each rope in the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
5

Transfer to the prepared baking try. Leave 1/2 inch space in between each stick. Bake for 15-17 minutes until they turn a golden brown color.
