These 4 Ingredient Gouda Cookies are super easy and it’s grain free, paleo and keto friendly.  I would recommend getting some real deal Dutch Gouda like this Rembrant Extra Aged Gouda.

It’s a very hard cheese, which is perfect for these Gouda Cookies.  It doesn’t really melt into the cookies, but gives it a great texture and bite.

I added some sage leaves to give it some earthiness, but you are more than welcome to leave that out.  What you do need to do when you bake these is to drizzle honey on top.  It’s a game changer.
