Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients and then combine with the flour mixture. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet.

Notes
- For an extra cheesy flavor, add 1/4 cup Parmesan to the cheddar.
