For the cheese cookies, knead a dough from butter, flour, grated Emmental and an egg and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of about 6 mm and cut out or slice into any shape.
Brush the surface with egg yolk, sprinkle with caraway seeds, coarse salt, poppy seeds or grated cheese.
Bake the cheese cookies in a heated oven at 175° Celsius until light yellow.
