For the cheese cookies, coarsely grate the cheese and quickly knead into a dough with flour, butter and salt. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm and cut out shapes. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
Sprinkle the cheese cookies with caraway or poppy seeds and bake at 170 ° C hot air for about 15 minutes.
