Instructions: * For even crunchier cookies, use only 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
** The Famous Fido commercial baker uses Cheddar cheese powder

1. In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy. Add egg whites and honey; beat until smooth. Beat in food coloring, if desired.

2. Combine flour, garlic powder and cheese. Beat into shortening mixture. Stir in more food coloring if you like.

3. Gather dough into a ball. Divide it in half, then in fourths and so on until you have 36 small pieces
