  With a mixer in medium, combine cheese, butter, shortening and salt.

• Step 5
  Preheat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Step 6
  On a well floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin square (less than 1/8").
• Step 7
  With a pastry wheel, cut into 1" squares and use a skewer or toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each.
• Step 8
  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until light brown at the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool.
