  • If you are using cubes like I did, knead the dough until it is a good pliable consistency.
  • Roll out on parchment paper, and you can use cookie cutters to design your biscuits.
  • I used my hands to take about a 2" ball, flattened out, placed the cheese cube in the center than pinch the sides up around the cheese.
  • Then, I added my shredded carrots on top of the cheese cube.
