  6. Add the grated cheese and continue beating with the mixer until the cheese gets incorporated.

  7. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Then use a cookie scooper to scoop and then roll the dough into bolls. Line them up about 1 inch apart on a sheet.

  8. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until lightly golden brown. Let cool down for about 15 minutes and enjoy.
