In another bowl, sift together the flour, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add this dry mixture to the butter-cheese mixture. Mix with a spatula then knead briefly to form a homogeneous dough ball.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Fill a cookie press with the dough. Form flowers or rosettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2-3 cm apart. Optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. For extra crispness, leave the oven door ajar for the last 2 minutes.

Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes then transfer carefully to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired while still warm.
- Butter must be very soft, at room temperature for at least 1 hour, for an easy-to-press dough.
- Grate the cheese yourself very finely for better melting. Pre-grated cheese is often too dry.
- Use a cookie press with a simple design plate (flower, star) for best results. Lightly grease the inside if the dough sticks.
- Watch the baking from 10 minutes, the cookies brown quickly. They are ready when the edges are golden but the top is still pale.
