Cheddar Shortbread Bites (Crackers) image

From Land-o-Lakes: "These flaky, cheesy bites are easy to make and store well." These are our favorite. The possibilities are endless: sesame seed topped, more heat (spices), no salt, garlic-flavored, etc. NOTE: Chill time of 2 hours+ has not been added to preparation nor bake time.

I'm not a huge fan of cheddar cheese, but I still enjoyed these shortbread bites. They're not too cheesy, and the sweetness of the shortbread balances it out perfectly.
